As far as I know you need to create a new dos partition first in fdisk. Then you install the os to that partition
I don't know anymore becuase I have never tried this:

Hey, how do you make your signature green like that? i can&#39;t change the color.

First, get rid of Windows me. My God that is a bad start. I suggest using Windows 98 SE, if you need that to rin certain programs.


Get XP instead of Win2K too. XP is so much better.

Here is why I say use Win98 and XP. If you install Win98 on one partion(or hard drive), then install XP on the other partion(or hard drive), you will automatically get a choice of Win98 or XP before the computer completely boots.

It&#39;s easier with partition magic 8 . :)
It has a wizard to install the new operating system

By the way won&#39;t you get the choice with Win ME as well as 98se? :unsure:

well i had once installed win 98s and win xp then on startup it stops on the dos screen and gives 2 options windows xp or 98.it was automatically i didnot did anything.

i had win 98s installed and after that i installed xp ;)

YES, generic terminology for all win9x systems. Partition magic 8 has major bugs. Use it at your own risk&#33; [/QUOTE]
Hey your scareing me man :o
I&#39;m using it with Win ME :(
I just used it a while back to make another partition and I did&#39;nt (and still don&#39;t) have any problems.
As a matter of fact it worked like a charm.
What really scares me is I&#39;m running win me .
This comp runs xp a little on the slow side. :angry:
