Use BING to hide the existing system. Then boot to the new partition and
BING will ask you if you want to install a system.

Okay, I got BootItNG to create a new partition on a second harddrive in
the hope that I could setup a new pristine Win98 and get a snapshot of it
before Microsoft pulls the support plug. My problem is the CD I got from
Dell wants to install over the old 98. It is not asking me where I want to
install it. Is it possible to put 98 into a new partion?


TIA

Thanks for the help. I can do the hard drive swap. But I'm a little weak
on
how to install Win98 on a HD without an operating system. What will happen
when try to boot up? Will I get DOS? Should I use my handy dandy custom
boot
floppy with DOS on it and run setup? In answering assume total ignorance
: )

P.S. I've read some of your other posts and I just want to say, I'm glad
you're out there.
