dual boot

Hello,

I was wondering if it would be possible to create a dual boot with Windows
XP Pro and Windows 98 SE. The problem is that Windows XP Pro is already
installed and I now want to create the dual boot with Windows 98 SE. Most
sites however seem to recommend to install Windows 98 SE first and then
Windows XP Pro. And I don't feel like spending the whole day, at least,
taking backups and reinstalling programs.

Greets,

Joris

Unfortunately the other posts are right, you need to
instal 98 first. The rule of thumb is that the oldest
operating system needs to be installed first.

Not necessarily. If you install them in the opposite
order then the problem is easily fixed.
