Hi,
I have three partions on my hard disk, C-Primary, D & E Logical Partitions . I have installed Win-XP in C Partition. Now I have to install Win 98 also along with Win-XP and make it dual boot. The Win-98 can be installed only in Primary Partition. How can I install Win-98 without disturbing win-xp and make dual boot.
(One way is to format c drive & install win-98 first & then install win-xp in d drive, but I want to avoid reinstalling win-xp)
Thanks

That is the way the story goes, the older is installed first, or you lose XP.
