Are you sure that your that the partition that contains your Win98 is a FAT partition? If it is a FAT32 partition, you will not be able to install NT. I found this out the hard way.

Will I have to repartition my active partition (which is running win98) to fat 16 if I want to install NT? Will using fat 16 reduce my usable drive space? Isn't there any way around this? Can't NT use my D drive to set up? Help please.
