Currently I install WindowsME on primary partition. And Windows 2000 on secondary partition.

How can I install Windows95 and 98 on the same HDD? So that when I boot up,
I can choose either 95,98,ME,2000 or XP ?

As it is not my machine it would be difficult to say...

But, Why would you want to do that?

i would like to have more options, run different software.

Get Partition Magic, and read its help files for instructions. Do a Googe search on "fosi programz" and you'll probably find it. On the page that you find, it's right down near the bottom, version 8.

make 4 partitions when you make the 1st install, and install every os on another partition. The bootmanager will sort the boot out :)

though i am wondering why the hell you want ME :confused:

I used XOSL

and

Ranish Partition Manager

http://www.castlesoft.co.nz/SpotLight/Spotlight003.htm walks you through it.

That is the el cheapo option.

Bachus, I think we can only install either win95/98/ME on the primary partition. You can only choose one of them. Win NT/2000/XP can be installed on logical or extended partition.

Create more primaries for 98 and 95. RPM and Partition Magic both do non-destructive partitions.

What do you use 95 for?

make 2 primary partitions ? sure? I never tried! I thought we can only have single primary partition ?

something wrong.

You can have four primary partitions. And 30ish with extended partitions.

edit to add: though it depends on what you are running, number of hard disks, perhaps.

sure?
let me try it, if OK, i will install Win95/98/2000/XP on the same HDD.

hah! GREAT!

Back up. If you are anything like me, you'ill screw it up the first 10 times. What are you using to partition it/ as boot manager

i tried on my old HDD of 2GB space, use partition magic 7.0,
but , strange, can partition it?
the HDD is intact, remains as 1 disk of 2GB.

i dare not try on my 40GB HDD.

no use.

Didn't work? Possibly you don't have a cracked version of partition magic.

I can't help you much beyond that, I have never used partition magic.

I had it, but it doesnot work! Donno why?

try RPM then

sure you successfully applied the crack(right version, language version)?

i apply it, but it does not work on my 2GB HDD.
