Default Win98 2-byte install after US WinXP Pro?


After the installation of US WinXP Pro, is there anyway to install
Win98 Korean version?

I have created 2 partitions usiing fdisk, both 20GB FAT.
I install XP in the first partition.

I can't install Win98 Korean in the second partition.

I've tried running the CD instal after booting XP. Won't run.
I've tried booting in safe mode. Won't install
I've tried booting a Win98 floppy. Won't install

I haven't tried booting from a Korean DOS floppy. Actually, I don't
have one until I install the Korean Win98, and for some reason, the
win98 Korean CD won't boot on my computer. My Win98 US version boots
and installs fine, so I don't know what's wrong with my BIOS. Anyway,
it's a US computer.

There are lots of options I probably haven't tried yet. Like I could
even boot DRDOS and go from there. But if anybody has a procedure
that for sure works, I'd love to know.

I googled around but haven't discovered any answers.

Thanks!

Rock

You need a boot manager. XP includes a primitive boot manager, or you can
use a product like BootitNG.

With a full boot manager, the second partition can be made to appear as the
primary (or only) partition, so a standard install of W98 can be done as if
the XP installation never existed.

For information on the XP boot manager see

Just as an add-on to the above you'll also need to insure that one of your
patitions (probably the second one if I'm reading your post correctly) is
formatted to FATxx so that 98 can be installed on it as 9x isn't compatable
with NTFS. A drive that large will want FAT32.

What's scary is I'd missed that. Not once but twice! Unfortunately I don't
know if it's time to get my eyes checked or my head checked... Sheesh...
