Multi-booting

**** question: How can I dual boot Windows 98 and XP? or ME or XP? I just don't know. Maybe I should first install Windows ME then XP? huh? I just don't know.

Help.

Install Windows 9x first before XP. Don't use Windows ME because it is not as stable as 98.

Yup, you can dual boot them. But you should get a 3rd party boot loader, so you dont have to hack the NT one. I cant give you any advice on that, because ive never found anything more powerful than LILO.

What LILO?

LInux LOader. You dont need that though, as you're not booting linux. Just search google for free multi-boot loaders. Damn, there was one that could boot like 35 OSs, and was open source. ill see if i can find it for you.

If all your usin is 98 & XP just install 98 then XP. After installing and then re-booting XP you will see a choice to boot into 98. Its all pretty easy. just remember with windows its oldest to newiest when installing multi-boot.
