I upgraded to 2000 from 98. Now I would like to dual boot 98 and 2000. Is there a way to dual boot 98 and 2000 with 2000 already installed? I just don't want to have to reformat everything. Any ideas?

This question has been asked a hundred times. Just search through the forum and you will find the answer.

Actually, most of the questions in the forum refer to installing 2K with 98 presently installed. My question is, can 98 be installed as a dualboot with 2k presently installed?

You went from '98 via an upgrade to W2K; so all you have now is W2K. If this is correct then it's possible to establish a 'dual-boot'. 'Ideally' each OS would be in its own partition space. If you have a 'spare partition...' then you can run the '98 install routine and point it to that partition. If you have only one partition, then you could use PM6x to shrink your single partition down a little to release space for '98; create a partition and then install '98 there. If that doesn't appeal... then you 'can' install '98 into the same partition as W2K. It isn't ideal or totally recommended, but it will work - as long as the format is FAT32. It's not unsimilar to NT and '9x in the same FAT16 partition - not ideal, but it works... (I have one system with '95/NTWS/NTSvr in a single FAT16 partition; and then Svr in an NTFS partition as well...). BEFORE you start out INSTALLING '98 - MAKE the ERD for your W2K and keep safe/handy... '98 may, or 'may not', overwrite the W2K/NT boot-loader; if it does then run the W2K repair routine and offer the ERD when appropriate to restore the W2K/NT boot-loader. Another option - since HD's are 'relatively inexpensive... these days' - is to install a second (slave) HD and install '98 there. Again have the ERD ready... With separate partitions or separate HD's both OS boot/start-up files will reside within the W2K system partition (the active Primary - Master HD); so this has to remain FAT32, and secure and not be reformatted - otherwise you lose the option to boot to '98 as well... With both OS's in the 'same' partition (FAT32) 'everything' is obvously there... If you go the second HD route... you 'could' install it (initially) as a stand-alone HD (single Master), and install '98 only onto it; then set HD-2 as the slave to HD-1 and re-install' '98; again have the ERD handy... This allows you the fall-back of having an fully functioning '98 (only) available (on HD-2) in the event of HD-1 going down with regard to W2K or the dual-boot; you just switch the HD's around and you can still access data on the current HD-1 (then set as slave...)...? In many respects, the second HD route seems attractive; less fiddling with partitions to separate OS's; less likelihood of possible conflicts between OS in the same partition; and the 'fall-back'... However you go about it - you will 'have' to re-install any apps. you wish to use in '98 - regardless.
