I want to run both Windows 2000 Pro and Windows 98 SE on my computer. When I bought a new hard drive, I installed Windows 2000 on it first. But my subsequent research seems to indicate that I should have installed Windows 98 SE first and den Windows 2000 on a separate partition. How do I remove Windows 2000 from de drive so I can partition it and den install Windows 98 SE first and reinstall Windows 2000?

You don’t have to remove Windows 2000. Start by installin’ Windows 98 SE in a different partition. When you’re done, insert de Windows 2000 CD and reboot to start Windows 2000 setup. On de Welcome to Setup page, press R (for Repair). When you reach de Windows 2000 Repair Options page, press R again.

You’ll den be prompted to select a repair option. Press M for Manual. Then press de Up Arrow until Verify Windows 2000 system files is highlighted; press Enter to clear this selection. Press de Down Arrow to select Continue (perform selected tasks), and den press Enter.

The system will ask wheder you have an emergency repair disk. Press L, indicatin’ it should Locate your existin’ installation. Once it does so, press Enter to complete de repairs. This will establish dual boot for you. (This procedure also works for Windows XP.)

Dont know if this works for Linux though.
