Make sure you have all your required files backed up, you have bootable disk like MS-Dos 6.2. Install Win 98, then XP You can install Win 98 on your primary partition and if you create a secondary partition then you can install Win XP after that. If you feel a bit more confident you can install Win 98 and then install a software programme called Partition Magic which supposedly can ease your dual installations. And then install Win XP. However, a word of caution if you have two systems you'll need to have two virus checkers and both will need access to a local firewall if you are going to connect to the internet. Salaams Hanif |

| [slm] Actually he doesn't even need to partition the drive, WIN XP support multiple OSes, so thats why i said install win 98 first and then win xp, (make sure you install XP in a different directory) . |
