I did this with Win95 (2x Win95 partitions, one English-Hebrew Win95,
one English-Russian. Win98 supports both, so I am no longer using this
method).
What you must do is to find a partition hiding software. There are
many and many of them, be it System Commander, Partition Magic (?) or
freeware Ranish Partition Manager. Then you read the manuals, hide the
old partition and install the second Win98. After this you'll have to
restore the MBR and there you are.
The more detailed instructions are found in manuals. As System
Commander is shareware (?) it has better help and interface, the
freeware R.p.m. has less help and text interface, but also takes less
space. YOu decide.
