Please help!! > Perform the following steps in this order: 1. Create a FAT32 active primary partition and load Win98 into it. 2. Create an extended partition. 3. Load Win2000 into a logical FAT32/NTFS drive inside the extended partition. 4. Load WinXP into a different logical FAT32/NTFS drive inside the extended partition. Note: - Add a FAT32 data drive inside the logical partition as a shared data drive if you wish. - Win2000 & WinXP will have drives D: and E: as system drives. This could cause problems later on when you remove Win98. Use a proper boot manager (e.g. XOSL) to make the OSs truly independent.
