i have win xp already installed on one of the partition. i now want to install win98 to make a dual boot system. i don't want to reinstall winxp. please help.

try booting from 98 cd at startup and try to install it on a diffrent drive ,I never tried this and i am not very sure if this is possible but just give it a try

ya i think wat cryptid said shud work and man y did u just made three threads on the same topi, u cud have made 100 more easliy.

no this does't work, because win 98 overwrites the mbr leaving no trace of winxp. and as per multiple threads, they are because of very slow response from digit site, i stoped the page and resubmitted.

after ur install, u will need to boot from xp cd and recover the mbr with fixboot...

u should be googling first b4 posting, bcos often u can get solutions to queries there. Look up the following url and click on first entry
*www.google.com/search?q=install+win98+after+winxp

Hope this helps
