install win98 on winxp

[asbhagat]

i have win xp already installed on one of the partition. i now want to install win98 to make a dual boot system. i don't want to reinstall winxp. please help.

 

[cryptid]

try booting from 98 cd at startup and try to install it on a diffrent drive ,I never tried this and i am not very sure if this is possible but just give it a try

 

[shwetanshu]

ya i think wat cryptid said shud work and man y did u just made three threads on the same topi, u cud have made 100 more easliy.

 

[asbhagat]

no this does't work, because win 98 overwrites the mbr leaving no trace of winxp. and as per multiple threads, they are because of very slow response from digit site, i stoped the page and resubmitted.

 

[sakumar79]

after ur install, u will need to boot from xp cd and recover the mbr with fixboot...

u should be googling first b4 posting, bcos often u can get solutions to queries there. Look up the following url and click on first entry
*www.google.com/search?q=install+win98+after+winxp

Hope this helps
