    Thanks for sharing this. Very interesting. I've set my system up the exact way as you. Both OS installs use C:\ on their own partitions (98SE and XP), and XP is the Active partition. However, at one point in an earlier build I managed to do this same boot set up within the WINXP boot.ini file. I just can't seem to remember how to set up the correct path and parameters in the boot.ini file to now swap 98 as C: and make it active. The usual parameters one sees online (like C:\="Windows 98" or the multi(0)/rdisk(0)...) don't work. If I don't find that answer I'll run xfdisk but do you have any ideas? Any success with just the OSs managing it or have you had to rely on xfdisk every time?

      I used to do it your way as well but I don't really remember how anymore since it's been like 18-20 years. So I just use XFDISK now, it does the job for me and the menu looks nicer anyways.

      @@gen_angry OK good to know! I set it up successfully on xfdisk so it *is* working. Thanks again for posting this and showing it. If I ever come across the boot.ini version I'll repost my findings. it doesn't seem to be well documented though so until then this is perfectly OK.

    thanks this will be a great help for my Gateway e4000 MfatX pentium 4 retro build i want to do. i'm still getting parts together and figuring software storage size for each OS.

    Thank you very much for this. For fun I've just installed Win98SE followed by XP SP3 on a Compaq Armada M300. Frankly I was surprised that XP could see the SE drive as 'C', which I suspect causes all sorts of problems I've had loading similar utilities on both systems. I naively thought 'logical C' drives would be created when booting up. It simply doesn't make any sense for me to have the systems visible to each other when they're not the same OS.

    Questions:
    1) I don't completely understand the differences between the Floppy and CD images that you've made. Can I just "copy and paste" the missing stuff from the Floppy image into the CD one?
    2) How much space does that HDD have?
    3) Will I need 2 or three CDs? Can I do it with USB if the computer is "new enough"?

      1. They have the same contents. One is used for writing to floppy drives/goteks and just gives you everything that my vid demonstrates without much room for anything else. You typically use the floppy disk in conjunction with separate Win98 and WinXP disks. The CD/DVD ISO lets you add your own files (like windows, drivers, etc) to so you can do everything off of one CD/DVD. You use a program like UltraISO to do that. Or, if you don't have a floppy drive - you can just burn the CD ISO, boot from that, and it'd essentially be the same as booting from a floppy.
      2. The video was recorded on a virtual machine with a 10gb harddrive. It was just for demonstration purposes, I don't have a way to record my real machines, yet.
      3. Depends what you want to install. I was able to fit everything i wanted in one DVD (Win98 and XP + updates + drivers in this case). You should be able to use the CD image in rufus I believe but I've never tried. My retro machines can't boot USB. However, trying to install Win98 from a USB is not recommended. Youre better off copying the files to the HD first and installing from there.

      @@gen_angry It'd be nice to have "that" CD image, but anyways I'll try to install W98 both on a old machine and on a new machine.

    And good bye R. Loew you where the only one I knew who was working on windows 98 it was my first system and i still love it today even tho it does give you headaches. I wish they where more people working on getting more things working on 98 no more updates to your programs I guess :(

    I forget how I did mine and now I need to fix it lol ; _: but I think you don't really need to do all of that.
