Ping: 98 Guy "using an old OS on XP"
"Bill Cunningham" wrote in message ... "BillW50" wrote in message ... 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.

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