you don't even need to make 2 partitions..
i believe win2k will let you make the 2nd partition after you've got the win98 in there...
it should give u the choice of converting your partition or making a new one w/ the remaining unpartitioned space

Can you give some more details on what you want to do with that machine ?
Is it the same NT4 server with 512MB-1GB RAM you asked about in an earlier thread?
Or do you have a handfull of different machines in development, like building your very own LAN ?
The partitioning might depend on the purpose of that machine.
Yup Doc building my own little Lan here

OK, in that case I would partition the hdd this way:
- C: Win98 , 2 GB
- D: Win2k , 3 GB
- E: the remaining space for games/apps/downloads
All partitions in FAT32, Win98 installed first on C: as mentioned before, next Win2k. Then install your games and apps on E:
Your setup will also work, C: Win98 15GB and D: Win2k 15GB.
