I paritioned my 13 GB hard drive into 2GB with Win 98. I then created a new NTFS partition of 4GB for installing Win NT, with partion magic. But now I cant boot up win 98, even after converting the partition to FAT

Exactly how is your HD configured - partitions/file formats?
What is the Active primary partition format - i.e. what is the C: drive?
Where/how did you go about installing both '98 and NT???
