Installing Win98SE on 2nd harddisk

R

Root

Hi, I am running Win 2000 Pro on a 60GB harddisk- two partiotions:
OS and data.

I am thinking of adding a 2nd hard disk (40GB) as slave and running
Win 98Se (so can run some older games).

How should I go about this?

Will I have a dual boot menu (win98, win 2000) later?

Must I re-install Win 2000 pro again after I installed the win 98SE ?

TIA !

One method (assuming the 40gig drive is new) -
Download a W98 bootdisk if you don't have one.
Set both drive jumpers to CS (Cable Select) - important!
Unplug your 60 drive & plug the 40 into the END connector on the cable.
Run fdisk from the floppy, format & partition your 40 drive with that.
Install W'98, also beg, borrow or steal BootMagic and install it on that
drive.

Plug the 60 drive into the INTERMEDIATE connector of the cable, boot into
BIOS and auto-detect both drives - (with the drives set to CS, W'98 will
become your primary drive).
Your PC will now automatically boot into W'98; open BootMagic & configure
your 2 drives.
Next time you reboot, BootMagic will give you two options, W'98 as the first
& 2000 as the second OS.
