Win2k pro upgrade

[bigben06]

OK, here's the deal. I want to do a clean install of win2k pro but, I've just decided to keep 98SE around for a little longer. I'm guessing that I want to reformat the hard drive, create two partitions and re-install 98SE on one of the partitions. Then install win2k on the other partition. This will give me dual boot capability. Or is it better to put them on the same partition? PLEASE let me know if this is a good way of doing this. Thanks for any and all suggestions!

Yes, that's the way to do it. You don't actually have to reformat, there are some apps that will let you repartition, but it's kinda messy.

Install 98 first, then 2k. 2k will set up a boot manager for you to use both.

Don't install both on same partition.

"Waytoomuch" is right on the mark Biggy!

Just do what Coffee said. You'll have done it right.
