May be it will help.
Hi Guys,
Though it is very much possible to install. But it is not really reccomended.
First of all although XP supports both FAT 32 as well as NTFS file systems but still it is ok if we install both XP and 98 using FAT 32.
That wil solve our purpose.
N ways but still since it is a requirement i will definitely try and help.
First i need to know how many paritions u have and what is your storage capacity.
Ok, If i concider your PC to have a standard configuration. Say 40 GB Hard Disk(HD) and 3 partitions.
Let the primary drive be C:
1) First go to Bios and change the booting option to "boot from CD".
2)Once it is done place the 98 CD first and Reboot.
3)The system then asks for the option of boot from CD or boot from HD.
Select "boot from CD".
4)type "fdisk" on DOS prompt. and format C: (There are easy instructions i hope u will manage to do that).
5)then start the 98 installation. Once the 98 is installed, place the XP CD and reboot. similarly Boot from CD and do not format or delete partition.
allow the set up to run and install the OS in the same Drive.
Try it out.
Well it was once required for me to install two XP OS in the same drive and it worked.
So, lets hope it works for different OS also.
Try your luck.
Regards,
Pratik.
