I want to install BEOS 5 personal edition to my celeron 633 with gfxcel board (windows 98 in my C drive). Now question is, can i install beos5 in my E drive where i find enough space and will this have any effect on dual boot? Ofcourse C is my bootable drive and i dont want to use a bootable floppy!
Can i access my beos5 files from within Windows98

You can install BeOS PE onto any drive from Windows and can access it from the top of the Start Menu. Doing this you will be limited to 500mb but if you want to have a complete partition available run Installer after you have booted into BeOS and do an install to another partition and it will give you the option to install Bootman which is a bootloader that will enable you to boot any partition that you have although the best bootloader is xosl(freeware) which gives you a lot more options and I have never ran across any OS that it can't boot.
