how to dual boot vista and win98?

[*GandaBerunda*]

I am currently dual booting my computer with vista ultimate and win xp. I also want to install win98 as it is easier to use the parallel port in it and also for many other reasons. Can anyone tell me if its possible?

Yes it should be possible.
1st install win 98 then install in another partition vista which should detect the "other operating system" (win 98)

few days ago i also faced the same prob, and also i was using dual core processor

if u hav Dual Core or C2D type processor than it is difficult for u to install win98 in it
Win98 dosent install in Dual Core Processor and above

So for that u can use Virtual PC
Install Win Vista and that install Virtual PC and install Win98 inside Virtual PC

or else if u dont have Dual Processor
than follow what ranjan said

Oh! I didn't know that dual core wont let u install win 98.

AFAIK its nt dual core who prevent installing windows 98 ... but intel has ended support for win98 with 9XX and higher series boards and others have followed too. I think u can install win98 on a dual core on 865 board.

If anyone can confirm this .....
