Problem With Dual Boot

I am attempting to add Win2K Pro to my laptop using Partition Magic. My
laptop currently has Win98 SE on it. I want to add this second OS so that I
can have Win2K to practice on for my Aplus class. We are studying Win2K in
the class but the class is only one night a week and so I thought that if I
add a second OS, I could work on it at home. I partitioned 2 gigs of space
for Win2K using Partition Magic. When I tried to install the OS, I kept
getting an error message that said " not enough memory to run this program".
Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong. Thank you.

W2K requires 64MB of memory to install. How much memory is in your
laptop?

| How much memory do you have available on your laptop?
When you're trying to install the OS, what other applications might be
running?
Did you ever think of trying to set up a dual boot system using just the
Windows setup instead of Partition Magic? I think the only drawback to this
would be un-installing the OS if you ever wanted to.
