Greetings
I use winxp and would like to install win98se as dual-boot
I have created a W98 partition with Power Quest, but before I go ahead
with installing 98se, has anyone done this and can offer tips and
assistance to help me avoid probs
On reading PQ's "installing another operating system"
I'm not sure when to install BootMagic

I did that awhile back once (can't remember why

Assuming your XP is running on the boot partition, there may be a problem
because that partition will most likely be formatted with NTFS. Even though
your Win98 has it's own partition (using FAT32), it still needs to be able
to read the boot partition.

Although I think there are 3rd-party programs that work around this.
Actually....

Ignore what I just said - it's irrelevant! It just occured to me
that BootMagic was just one of the aforementioned programs...
