It might be possible if you install it from the bootable CD and boot with Windows 98 CD.

If you install win98 after w2k for a dual boot, you will have to do abit of searching to get it working right. It's normally considered best to install the lesser OS (Win95/98 or WinME) first.

Hi,

Dude is right. There are a lot of things you need to think.

How do you wanna organize two OS? I mean if you use FAT32 for the file system, your content on the hard disk would be visible in both OS. But if you choose FAT32 for Win98 and NTFS for Win2K, the data in NTFS will not be visible in Win98.

And It's always recommended to first install Win 98/ME first and then install Win2K.

I would recommend, backup evenry thing you currently have on a separate media, install Win98, and then Win 2K.

Manish and Dude are right on. There are decisions you have to make regarding useability and security. If you must have both OS's on the machine, do as Manish stated and back up everything. Next you need to perform FDISK to create your partitions.
