Hello,

I know it's simple enough to set up a 98/XP dual boot by installing XP after 98, but if I were to install 98 after having installed XP, I run the risk of losing access to XP, correct?

Right now, I have only XP on C:. I came across an old 4 GB (say I call it S) onto which I want to install 98*. Is it just a matter of backing up the boot.ini on C:, restoring it if 98 overwrites it (even though 98 is going on S), then adding 98 to XP's boot menu?

Thanks!

* PS: in your opinion, which is better to run older games, 98 or ME? Some of my games just don't work in XP so I want to run a light installation of either 98 or ME.
 
I'd take 98 over ME any day....

sorry i cant answer the rest of the question...
 
ME ran the bestfor me out of 98..98SE...ME

but XP is the rock ....havent found a game i cant play yet cuz of XP.....and i have a sh**load of them :)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
