    Win98 partition on XP machine

    Hello folks,
    I have a new/used IBM desktop with a gazillion GB hard drive, Win XP. Can I partition it (I have Partition Magic) and put a Drive Image of my puny 10 GB Win98 machine on this new machine for a dual boot. If so, how?
    Thanks in advance,
    Chas

    Otherwise, probably. However, you may want to consider restoring your Win98 partition to a Virtual Machine setup.

    I completely agree with jdc2000, it would be an ideal candidate for running as a virtual machine.

    VMware Server, MS Virtual PC and Virtual Box are all freeware:

    Virtual Box

    VM Ware
