i am running vista home premium, and was wondering..., i know it is possible to dualboot different OS's with vista, so is it possible to do this with windows 98? don't ask me about my reasoning behind this, i just want t know if it's possible, and if there are any extra instructions i need to follow

i know it works with xp, so try this:
-Instal 98, but make the hard drive into two partitions (fat32 for 98 and ntfs for windows vista)
-finish installing 98
-install vista on the ntfs partition
-the computer will boot to vista
-now right click my computer, and go to properties, then on the left side go to "advanced system settings"
-under the advanced tab click settings under startup and recovery
now make the defualt os "earlier version of windows" now when you reboot you should get two options

yea, i was trying to avoid the method of dual booting that involves reinstalling vista, im too cheap to purchace a vista disk, is there any other way? like using the recovery disk that came with the system?
