dual boot w/win98

[jasman24]

I have win 98 on a 13gb hd and have a 60gb hd partitioned into 3 20gb's. I'm trying to install win2k server on one of the 20gb partitions. The logo screen comes up and it seems like it's about to finish the setup but then reboots. I've reformatted, tried fat32 and ntfs, i've removed unnessesary hardware. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

use partition magic to do the following

hide all partitions except the one you want to install win2k and make this the active one (temporarily)

install Win2k as normal

use partition magic to unhide all the partitions and create a small partition of say 10mb. Make this the active partition and install a boot menu into this (partition magic should have one)

configure the boot menu to either boot into the win98 or win2k partition

i've made a mess of it. when I rebooted after palying with patition magic I got a "error loading OS" I'm reinstalling win98 now. what a pain.

it wouldn't let me use any of the logical drives I had created, it wanted to be installed on C: so it suggested partitioning a portion which I did and it made it active but when it rebooted, nothing.

I'm going to reinstall win98 on a much smaller partition and see if I can win2k to dual boot.

I'm so frustrated right now.
