Hi everyone:


I've never done this before. For the testing purposes I need to install Windows 98, Windows ME and Windows XP on the same computer. I have broken my HDD (which is over 40GB total) on 3 partitions and formatted those like this:

C: = Fat 32
D: = Fat 32
E: = NTFS

I have already installed Windows 98 on drive C.

My question is how can I install Windows ME on D and Windows XP on E?

Thank you in advance!

try to run each windows disc like you're installing it on a fresh harddrive; boot the cd first.

then when you install, you should be able to choose which partition you want to install windows on.

If you install the OS on the 3 partition correctly, whenever you boot from your machine, it should prompt you which operating system you want to choose

Thanks. Do you know the order at which I should install them? Is it older to the newer, or visa versa?

Well, I tried like someone suggested above and installed Windows ME to drive D (while having Windows 98 on C) and now my computer simply loads Windows ME on drive D instead. That's what I was afraid of :( So what shall I do now?
