Hello

Can I install both Windows 98 and Win2k in the same drive,
such as c: drive. I have seen systems with this setup.

The advantage of this will be, one can use a image tool like DriveImage,
take an image of just c: drive and if something goes wrong-> restore
both Operating Systems within minutes.

This is not a good idea. The Program Files folder, among others, will be
common, and files from the first operating system you installed will be
overwritten by files from the second operating system, resulting in errors
when you, from the operating system installed first, try to run anything
that expect to use it's own files.

Best regards

Bjorn
