WWB Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 Very easy actually, although it will require a reformat on your part (or partition magic). You need to install 9x first, then install XP. When you are installing XP on top of 9x, you will get an option to Upgrade or install a new copy. Install a new copy. Note you should begin the install within the windows GUI, and it requires a bootable CD. In your case, you can use partition magic to repartiton the drive and setup a boot menu. I have never done this, but it should be possible. WWB PS: You need to have separate logical drives to install the oses on. For example, I run a 5gb C drive for win98, a 5gb D drive for 2000, and a 20gb E: for data. Also remember that if your disk is formatted in NTFS then you will not be able to read it from 95.
