Hello.

My PC has windoze XP on its C, but some programs i like to use don't run with XP. If I make a new partition like "D" and make it FAT32 can I install windows 98 to that and somehow edit the XP boot loader to know that W98 is there on D?

Any help would be great thanks :)

have a look at http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_repair_9x.htm as it seems like a good guide

HTH, Cheers, T, HTH.

Have you also tried compatibility mode on XP?

Which ever program it is, you can right click the executable and select properies, then the compatibility mode tab and select your operating system.

Thankyou for your replies my friends.

Yes I have tried compatibility mode already and sadly this did not work.

That guide indeed looks excellent, many thanks Tierra - I hope to join you all in another forum, such a shame to see this one fall - and now when I have only just found it!
