Dual boot using XP Pro and 98

by mavwolf99 Nov 22, 2004 8:57AM PST

Hi There!
I am running XP Pro on my Compaq latptop and I need to put 98SE on it so I can dual boot and use some educational CD's that only will run on 98 and not on XP (I tried but no go even using the compatability program)...I have Partition Magic 8.01.....What is the best way to go....I do not want to lose the programs I have on XP as I use these also...everything is backed-up.

See the following How do I install Windows 98/Me after I've installed XP article. It's an unsupported method and use it at your own risk.

Good Luck,
