Default Ping: 98 Guy "using an old OS on XP"

Hi Bill, Windows 98SE needs a FAT partition I believe. Did you set up a
FAT partition for it? It might also need that partition being within the
first 120GB of the drive. Setting up dualboot is indeed possible, but the
installer will likely setup it up all wrong if you install an older
Windows version last. But it is indeed fixable.


The thing is installing XP as a fresh install will absolutely not let
me format c: with FAT32. It will only let me format with NTFS. I have
another partinio that is FAT32. I don't know what MS has against fat32
now, ntfs is fine but I like fat32 too. And it's more universal. Which OS
has to be installed first? I can't reformat a mounted partition either of
course.

Bill

If you mean fat16 when you say FAT no. I formatted a fat32.

Windows 98 Fat32
