Reply: (edit)Hi Dave,
This is not recommended but you can still do it. The correct way is to :
1) Create a partition using Partition magic. Ensure that your primary partition is FAT32 and install win 98 on this.
2) In your secondary partition format it as either FAT16 or NTFS (depending on security level) and then install NT.
3) You will then be given the choice which OS to run wheen you reboot your computer (dual boot)

Q243896. It tells you exactly how to do it.
The only problem seems to be accessing the

the boot partition and the two OS partitions
if you have a drive bigger than 7.8 GB. Still
trying to figure that par
