How can I setup a computer with 2 partitions. One running Win98 and one running win nt. Is this hard to do? How can I go about doing it? I have Partition magic if it helps.

Thanks,

Rick

This may seem a bit simplistic, but couldn't you read the documentation with Partition Magic?

Install Windows 98 on the first partition, and then NT on the second one. NT will allow you to select which one you want to boot to.

As you're starting from scratch, it's worth setting it up the text-book (professional...) way with a small system partition, where both OS's deposit/install their boot/start-up files, with each OS in its own partition (logical-drive).

Post 3279 on the NT forum will take you through it step-by-step; it's a viable way to set it up - credit the chap who posted it.

Only modification I'd include: when you make the logical-drives (in the Extended partition) make an additional one for common accessed/shared data - make it FAT16 (it will be limited to 2gig max.). Locate it after the NT logical-drive (the boot-partition - where NT OS resides), and before any FAT32 areas. The FAT16 data area will be available to both OS's; FAT32 wouldn't be seen by NT, NTFS wouldn't be seen by '98.

Good luck.
