You mean if it is a new clean install? Either way. You are going to build the IDE1 install with apps. The KOT will be geared toward utility. It will have to be a clean install if it is a Win98/NT combo. If it resides in its own partition it could be a clone....or an image restore from one of the images you have in your extended partitions. I have no current strong feelings one way or the other. I am lacking experience. I am not wild about dual boot Win98/NT and I am not wild about extra partitions. If booting Win98 will be a rare occurrence there may be some merit to the idea of keeping it in its own partition with the NT partition set as active. My inclination is to one well designed and backed up Win98/NT utility partition....with a Drive Image / clone? of Win98 before you install NT. You already have a Drive Image of a basic NT install. Have you made your Drive Image boot floppy yet?? Zeuspaul

I installed NT with Win95 in a 2 gig FAT partition. It took less than an hour. First test..pinball.....smoooth<g> I tried installing from an NT CD boot. The install would hang in the early stages. I tried with the NT floppy boot disk and the whole process went rather smoothly. NT's only complaint was my big harddrive. I will tackle that later. The answer is somewhere in the thread. Now to figure out how to install my ATI video drivers..in the morning This will most likely end up as the KOT. I will install NT as a stand alone in NTFS for the primary NT install. Zeuspaul
