I'm getting a new PC, and want Win 2k, but since not all games might run, how can you set up to dual boot? I have Win 98, and a coupla hard drives spare (2GB and 8GB), would I need one of them to dual boot? Could anyone suggest useful websites?
 
Dual booting is pretty easy, first fdisk and set up your primary partition with 50% of the disk space, then create an exteneded partiton with the other 50%, format both partitions and install win98 on the primary partition ( C ) after the win98 install setup win2k on the extended partition (D) during install choose your own partition otherwise it may default to C: and cause problems. After install win2k should have seen win98 and setup your bootloader giving you both options during bootup.:)
