You have 2 PC's one running Windows XP and the other Windows 98 can you install one HD on the other PC and change some settings to make a dual mode PC without having to mess with partitions?

Yes, but only if your motherboard supports the ability to boot to alternate IDE devices\drives. If your WinXP system does support this then you will need to temporarily install the hard disk from the old Win98 system as the primary master and install your Win98 OS on it. The installation of Win98 on the hard disk drive will not work in your system running XP. Win98 Plug and Play is more Plug and Pray, so don't bother trying. Backup you data first because install the win98 OS probably will remove all your data. Remember to remove the XP hard disk so you don't install win98 over it. Once you are done with the install of Win98 you will need to re-install the Winxp drive as the primary master and configure the win98 hard disk as secondary master. Your BIOS setup should allow you to select what drive to boot with. Good Luck!!!

How can you install your Microsoft office onto Windows 8 from windows 7 when you have it running on a separate partition?
You can not move the whole program between partitions. Uninstall the one you have now and install it again choosing the correct partition. If you are using both partitions but booting up w7 on one and w8 on the other just do a normal install on your w8 one.
How do you remove write protection from a partition running Windows that's missing the hal.dll file and the rest of the partitions are running Linux?
If you are talking about accessing the partition from Linux, the kernel file system driver does not allow writing to NTFS partitions. You can write to the partition in Linux if you install the NTFS-3G file system. This is the only form of "write-protection" that should be on your system.

This depends on how you want to "connect" them. If you install and configure Samba on the laptop, it can share files with Windows. If you are not interested in sharing files, but just want to control the laptop from within Windows, install an SSH server on the laptop, and connect to it from Windows using puTTY.
