You want to set up a dual boot scenario between windows 98 and windows 2000?
If you have the hardware to support Windows 98 you can use Microsoft Virtual PC to install multiple Operating Systems that run on your current OS. Microsoft Virtual PC software is free; it is just a shell however that allows you install Operating Systems just as you would on a new hard drive, provided you have a valid OS on disk like Windows 98. You can download Virtual PC at Microsoft's official website. You may be asking how to install a dual boot system with Windows 98 and Windows 2000. If this is what you're trying to accomplish then you will need to know that you must install Windows 98 on its own Primary partition. Each operating system must be installed on its own partition. If you have a hard disk that has only a single partition, you have several options available. 1. You could reformat your current hard drive after backing up all your important files and re-install your operating systems and partition your hard drive into 2 Primary partitions. Windows will only allow a Primary partition to be made bootable; Windows will not allow Logical partitions of an Extended partition to be made bootable so you cannot install Windows on a Logical partition. An operating system like Linux will allow Logical partitions to be made bootable. -- Meaning you must create at least 2 Primary partitions to install a dual boot system with Windows. Also you can only create up to 4 Primary partitions on a single hard drive. Or you can create up to 3 Primary partitions and 1 Extended partition. Also you must know that the native files systems for Windows 98 and 2000 are not the same. Windows 98's native file system is FAT32 and Windows 2000 is NTFS. FAT32 cannot see an NTFS partition; however NTFS can read a FAT32 partition. The boot sector must be able to be read by both OS's. Which means the boot sector must be on a common file system between both OS's; FAT32 in this case. Installing Windows 98 first will install a FAT32 boot sector and will be able to be read by Windows 2000 after it is installed. This way the system will dual boot correctly. On another note DO NOT INSTALL Windows98 after Windows 2000 has already been installed. Your system will not dual boot correctly; you will overwrite the boot sector. Remember Windows 98 cannot see an NTFS partition, by default Windows 2000 creates an NTFS boot sector, since Windows 98 cannot see an NTFS partition it will overwrite the boot sector and your system will not dual boot correctly. Not all Windows versions can dual boot together. To see the supported dual boot configurations and more info on dual booting see related links. 2. Your other option; which is perhaps the best choice for what you are trying to accomplish is simply hook up another hard drive inside your PC case and you will be able to configure a dual boot system much easier and won't have to reformat your current hard drive. On a side note, you cannot use an external hard drive to boot to an Windows NT operating system, such as a Windows OS later than Windows 98. You will receive an error and the system will not boot! However, you can install an open source operating system such as Linux or Unix and have it boot to an external hard drive. Also Linux/Unix operating systems will even boot to a USB stick.
