Windows 98 and XP
« on: April 09, 2006, 07:40:43 AM »
Is it possible to have Windows XP and Windows 98 on the same machine? If it is, do I have to make another partition or something? I want windows 98 because I've herad that it's the best OS for games, since it has so little processes running.

You can easily do this but you need to partition the drive and install 98 first. WHen you install XP into a separate partition, it will create a menu of which one to use at start up. Make sure that your MB and components have drivers for Win 98. Many new ones do not.

    Partition magic and other similar tools will allow you to partition and install another os without losing data.
