Is it correct to install 98 after installing XP?

[kerthivasan]

hi guys.
i have a doubt.
i have heard that if one wants to install both 98 and XP, one should first install 98 and then install XP.i.e. one should first install older version and the newer version.
IS IT CORRECT?

Yes..Install older version first and then install newer version.Though you can always install older version after the installation(in different partitions) of newer version,you need change the boot record.

You should install XP after 98 since XP would detect 98 presence and then modify the boot loader so that you can select the Appropraite operating system during boot up.

If you install 98 later, you will be able to boot into 98 only. You will need a Boot Loader. Many years ago i used a very nice GUI based Boot Loader called XOSL
