| Ok, when it comes to dual booting say WIN95 with WIN98, i CANT do that on
the same drive, but I CAN on two different drives?
I'm confused between dual partitions and dual drives. What do i look at when
dual booting? HELP!
THANX

| Basically you need to use a third party boot manager because 95 an 98
try to use the same file to boot. The boot manager will (in effect)
hide the other partition or drive.
Fairly good read.

Can anyone recommend a free boot manager?

| Check the link. Win98 can definitely be in a dual boot situation with
Win2000. You may not run them at the same time.

| If you want a great boot manager, download Linux. There is no better way
to dual boot. Good luck.
