Win98 implantation

Hello,
I want to install a Fujitsu MPB3032AT hard drive on my computer, but my HDD has Win98 in it. Since I don't have a lot of RAM , playing games like NHL2003 (wich requires 128MB of free RAM on XP and 64MB on 98)would work better on win98. Can someone tell me how to add win98 in a multibooting menu and I could still use my other software like NAV 2004 which are on my primary Hard drive?

That's a tough one...you may have better luck in the Win98 or XP forum. I've setup several dual boot systems, but never the way you're proposing. My current system runs WinME/XP Pro. Generally, the older operating system (Win98) is installed 1st, then XP. I could give you my "best guess" but I think I'll leave it for someone who knows for certain. Good luck.

Hi not sure why you want multibooting, just add the new drive; have i read this wrong? ?:\ install the 3.2(?) new hard drive as a slave , see the link for instructions [Installing or adding a new hard drive ] three main steps , identify and change jumper settings on hard drive to slave. identify and connect hard drive to secondary ide connection ,& plug in power
boot pc , check bios identifies new drive. Win 98 shouldnt be affected except drive letters are incremented. link: http://www.helpwithpcs.com/upgrading/install-hard-drive.htm
