I don't know about raid but I did dual boot Windows NT and 98 and it should be the same except win2000 can read fat32 now. I first installed Win NT. I then installed 98. The computer now cannot boot NT. So I did a repair on NT and it fixed it and at the select screen I was able to choose 98. If they kept the select screen in 2000 this should work and accually be easier since both OS can read fat32. Just make sure the win2000 partition is not NTFS if it's the boot partition. It took some time to figure out but now it's really easy.

When I make a dual boot system, I use my handy dandy Win98 boot disk, to "Fdisk" and partition the HDD (usually half and half). I then set the first partition active, and install whatever. I then boot up with the boot disk again, and set the second partition active, and install whatever other OS I want to use. At boot up, it'll ask which one of the two OS' you want to use. Most I've ever done is a triple boot system cause it was slow at work and I was bored, and wanted to see if it would work.:D
Just make sure that you put Win98 on the main boot partition or you have to do a full reinstall. I found out the hard way this week

Yea, my setup is drives C: D: and E:. C is boot partition and windows 98, D is shared files for both OS and E: is Windows NT. If I have programs that can run on 98 and NT I put their files on drive D to save room. Remember put 98 on the boot partition.;)
