How do I install Windows® 98/Me after I've installed XP?(without 3rd party software)
Necessary Criteria
This procedure assumes that Windows XP is installed on drive C: No support is offered for other drive letters.
Drive C: must be FAT16 or FAT32 to be able to install Windows 98/Me after XP is already installed.
The 98/Me installation routine cannot write to an NTFS partition.
You must have a second hard disk or partition formatted for FAT16/32 in order to be able to install Windows 98/Me.
Installing 98/Me to the same partition as Windows XP is NOT RECOMMENDED!
I recommend the use of a Windows 98/Me Startup disk for this procedure. If you don't have one, you can
download the necessary files from *www.bootdisk.com You should ensure that DEBUG.EXE is on your Startup disk.
If it isn't, it can be copied from the Windows\Command folder. On a 98/Me Startup disk,
created from Add/Remove Programs, its in the EBD.CAB file on the Startup disk.
For a 98 Startup disk created from FAT32EBD.EXE its on the floppy
