Advice Please

I am going to install partition magic on my system and then after creating partitions
install winnt so I can dual boot between winnt and win98. Has anyone had any problems doing this using partition magic that I should know about or any helpful tips and advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There is really no reason to use Partiton Magic to partition the drives if you don't have anything installed yet. Why not just use Fdisk.

Unless.....you are wanting to use Boot Magic as your dual booting mechanism and have seperate hidden primary partitions.

In either scenario, I have not had any issues. I am using PM 5.1. If you have a large disk you need to be sure that the NT boot partiton falls within the 1024 cylinder limit. Patition Magic does a pretty good job of warning you about it.
