I think the way the swap file is handled is to create a ram drive.

I don't see that a CD system would be very useful and Dave's other
suggestions would work better. Although it is quite pricey, another option
is MS Virtual PC. This program installs in XP (or another system) and then
W98 (or another system) is installed in it. Then when W98 is needed,
Virtual PC is started and W98 can run at the same time as XP is running.

It may be doable, but it would be terribly slow. The swapfile would have
to
be reassigned to a physical hard drive. Nothing could be changed, removed
or added.

A 3rd party boot manager that hides other OS partitions would work if you
have room for another partition. As would a removable hard drive tray as
another solution/

Hi,
Is it possible to run windows 98 from a CD? I want to install 98
but
I don't want to have to re-install windows XP.

AFAIK, I would have to install 98 to a hard drive and then copy
the
files to a cd, but what I need to know is if this would work or not?

Better yet, is their a Live CD version of Windows 98?
I doubt it, but this would be a much easier solution.
