I have 2000 on this computer. How do I install 98SE so I can run either one? Some older programs won't run on 2000.

Thanks!

Claude

It's very easy to do if you have two hard disks. With only one hard
disk it will be a bit harder, you need to have two partitions on the
disk. What is your disk/partitions setup like?

You really install Win98 first...

Win98 can be installed after win2k but you'd need to create another
partition plus use a boot manager

Hello Mr. Balls.

The program BootIt NG will allow you to do this:

This tutorial explains how to do it:

Oh yeah, I almost forgot... it's a good idea to backup any important
data on your hard drive before doing this sort of thing. I haven't had
any problems myself, but you know, Murphy's Law -- the one time
there's a problem will be the time you didn't do a backup.
