Windows XP >> Win XP + Win ME + Win 98 Triple Boot bootmagic is good for multiple boot (part of partition
magic)http://www.symantec.com/partitionmagic/index.html

or if you just want 98se available from time to time - virtual pc is great

Windows XP >> Win XP + Win ME + Win 98 Triple Boot Hi,

If "F" is FAT32, then yes. Please see:

Windows XP >> Win XP + Win ME + Win 98 Triple Boot I don't know where ME would fit in here (and wonder why you WANT it..?) But
here's the results of my research before I set my dual-boot system up. I
have some problems internal to XP, but they have nothing to do with my dual
boot setup which works perfectly. My best guess n ME is that it should go
in between Linux and XP in the following sequence:

You need to have w98 on C:, and install that
first. If you have to use an SE upgrade disk, do ALL of that first, before
installing XP on D:.

I went back to do the SE upgrade _after_ I put on XP and the W98 system got
blue-screen fatal errors every time I shut down (there's also an SE shutdown
patch that some systems need, making all this even more complicated).

If you also want Lynix, you need to do THAT on C:, W98 on D; and XP on E:.
That's the sequence I've been told to use, and everything works just fine
that way.

I still run all the partitions on fat32, but converting the XP partition to
NTFS after XP install (which I did in one install) seems to work fine, too.

Summed up install sequence: Linux; W98 [SE upgrade]; then XP. Wait 'til
it's all done before converting to NTFS.
