Best Answer

Generally speaking, no. Most applications write their settings to the Windows registry. When the installation of Windows they were installed in isn't running, the applications cannot read their important settings, and so most will not function. "Portable" apps that store their setting in a local configuration file should run fine.

How do you install Windows 98 in one of two hard drives both having Windows 2000 without formatting both hard drives?

If there is space left, you can use Partition Magic to reduce the 2000 partition and make room for the 98 partition. Just install into the unpartitioned space. To do a dual boot between the two, the easiest way is to use a program called Wingrub. The address is: https://sourceforge.net/projects/grub4dos . There are examples in the Wingrub program on how to set it up. The documentation examples say it can't be done, but it can. I did it and it works fine.
