On my notebook i have installed WIN XPSP2 on partotion C(NTFS). Then I
have
created partition E on the same hard disk(D is CD drive), and format it to
FAT32 situable for instalation of WIN 98.
The problem for me is how to install WIN 98 to E drive, without deleting
WIN
XP, and with boot menu to choose which operating system want to use. I
need
to install WIN 98 for diagnostic software of some old devices that won´t
work on WIN XP.
I was thinking to solve this problem in next steps:
- create an image of operating system(image of WIN XP) on NTFS file
systemwith some backup and image creating software
- format C partition to FAT 32 file system
- install first WIN 98 on C partition
- restore image of WIN XP (which is created in NTFS) to E drive which is
on
FAT 32
Is it possible to do it, and will the image of WIN XP work on FAT 32
system?
The crucial thing is to maintain the WIN XP on it original state because
of
many software installed on it.
Can you please help me to solve this problem with some suggestions?
I would be thankful
