Installing 98 SE w/ 2000
I was wondering I am running windows 2000 Pro. I have a few apps that will not run on it, due to being older apps. I want to dual boot win 98, is this possible w/ out having to reinstall 2K again. If so what is the best way to go about doing that? Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks.

To install 98 you'll have to do that (set d: as the primary), but if you switch is back later then 98 will not boot. The only way 98 can boot is if it has some basic files on the primary partition.
What you will have to do is set bootstar to make d: the primary when you want to run 98, and make c: the primary when you want to run 2k.
If you ever get around to reinstalling, you can make your life easier and put 98 on c: and 2k on d:

That is what I am going to do, just reinstall everything...... Make my life a little less miserable........
