# isn't is possible to install XP alongside your old OS?
I know it works installing XP alongside Win2000 - not sure about 98. If so, it is a safe option.

# Should be able to...
...as long as you've got a partitioning fingy. If you wanna share files between the two, you need to not choose NTFS also.
personally I'd just use 2000 anyways

# you don't need special partitioning software
as XP and Win200 do the partitioning bit for you. But I don't know if it works with 98 as well.

# I have 98 and xp on this machine with no partition
...windows98 and xp both use same folder (x:\windows) so make sure that, if you install both, to change one of the directorys to, say, windows2.

Prob better to just partition -to be safe- if you want both...
