98/xp dual boot laptop?

i have a laptop, XP home. i want it to dual boot with XP and 98SE. its for a customer, but i cant seem to make it work.

problem is it comes iwht restore disks insead of an xp install disk. So, i have to "restore" it, then isntall 98.

i have partition magic, but it doesnt seem to help...i HAD it set with 2000 on it, and XP also, but now it wont boot to iether, and there was never a menu. Any ideas as to how i may be abel to pull this off?

You are going to need a 3rd party boot manager I believe.

yea i think so too

The problem is that you have to install the older windows version first and since you don't have an install disk, I don't know how you can reinstall XP.

I would try to get a hold of a 98 disc. It would be so much easier.

actually, i do have a 98 disk ,and it diddnt make it any weasyer

i think you meant XP disk., which di make itt easyer. i gave in and told the person they'd have to buy XP pro to do it, and they just happened to have, a valid, unused copy, laying around. after the shock i installed it and its...okay. hard to find 98 drivers for a toshiba XP laptop tho
