partioning hard drive

[James Helton]

I want to dual boot win xp and win 98. My question is how
much disk space for each system? I have a maxtor 60 g hard
drive. I want more space on the xp for digital work,but I
am not sure how to break it down into megabytes.
Thanks for any help.

1GB = 1024MB

If you're using FDISK, you can type percentages instead (even though FDISK
can be a little tricky).

60/1.07=56
6 for 98 +10 for XP+40 for data =56
I would go with three partitions.
