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.

Windows 2000 has no native support for SATA drives. If you have a slipstreamed CD with service pack 4, and the drivers for the SATA controller, you can install it. If not, you will have to run the SATA controller in emulation mode, so that Windows 2000 thinks that it is an IDE drive.
