Mate just start up windows 98 and run the XP pro instal. Instal it to another drive. Once its all installed and you reboot your pc, you get the choice of what OS u want to start-up.

Just a suggestion but i would leave the partition you instal XP to as FAT32, this is so you can explore your XP partition when running win98. Makes transfering of files easier.

I like my setup. 40gb drive with two partitions for win98 and XPpro and a 80gb drive for movies/programs/games.

no 98 or millenium is not capable of reading or using the NTFS file system.

^^^ this is true, i would reccomend fdisking if you want to set it out like i suggested it and formating C:\ as fat32 and D:\ as NTFS. then E:\ as.......erm, does 98 pick up NTFS

^^^ This is true but you wont be able to have two different types of file systems. XP runs on NTFS or FAT32 and ive found NTFS much more reliable.

u dont actually need seperate partions, it just makes it less messy.

If your dual booting Win98 and Xp you need to install 98 first and then Xp last.

If you don't want seperate partitions all you have to do is choose a different install directory insstead of the normal c:\windows directory for one of the installs.

When you install XP it will pick up that you have an 98 installation and create a menu when you first boot up so you can pcik which os you want to load.

but without software like partition magic you wont be able to split your current full partition into several others on a FAT32 or NTFS drive.

motorspeed : you are correct.

i suggest u create 3 partitions,

1. C:\ (keep windows XP here) (20Gb)
2. D:\ (Keep windows 98 here) (20Gb)
3. E:\ (all your porn,games,movies) (watever u have left.)
