I prefer a small (500 meg) c: FAT16 primary and then a fat32 WIN98 partition and then a NTFS NT partition. For this simple boot I have usually used the NT boot menu, I am a little confused. My understanding is..using the NT OS loader as a boot manager..Win98 would reside in a FAT16 primary partition at the beginning of the drive. You could have a FAT32 partition that Win98 could see and use but the original install would be in the first FAT16 partition. Standard procedure would be to install Win98 first in a FAT16 partition and then install NT. NT would detect Win98 and setup the dual boot during the install process. If my understanding is correct you are almost there. All you would have to do is use Partition Magic to convert and resize the FAT32 partition to a 500 MB FAT16 partition and then install NT. Then you could setup the NTFS and FAT32 partitions (not sure how..both in extended partition??). Zeuspaul
