another dual boot problem

I got the following setup, pIII 500, 8. 0 gb,128k ram, running win 98. I want to dual boot with nt4. 0( would rather w2k but it has to be nt4 unfortunately). With Partition magic 6. 0 I set up new primary partition so that it now looks like the following; c: win 98 2.

magic 6.0 I set up new primary partition so that it now looks like the following;
c: win 98 2.2 gb FAT 32
winnt 1.2 gb FAT
rest unused
 
Everything applied, machine reboots with nt4 installation disks, preset up mode runs fine
, accepts FAT partition, get to the stage where it prompts you to take floppies and cd out and notifies will reboot with GUI set up to follow. Reboots but nothing happens, nothing no error message at all just sits there a: I ve run the installation a few times but same thing happens each time.
Anybody got a clue what this could be and why it doesnt continue on to full set up.

The Primary partition must be FAT16 for you to dual-boot with NT4. NT4 cannot read the FAT32 partition.
