Hi Ian, I have setup all of my pc's to be able to multiboot and one thing I
have learned is that you need to install the oldest o.s. first, ie. Install
Win98 before Win2k, install Win2k before WinXP.  I currently multiboot
win98, win2k & winxp on 1 of my laptops and I had to install the os's in
that order for it to work properly. If you do it any other way, you're
asking for problems. My other laptop dualboots between win95 and win nt
workstation 4, same thing, install win95 first and then install win nt
workstation 4.0 afterwards. Just my 0.02 cents.
Thx...rob,wpg
