This is a pretty sparse posting. You might want to re-post it and
describe in greater detail just what you are trying to do.
You *can* dual boot, for example, Windows 98 and XP, on the same physical
disk by setting up an NTFS partition for Windows XP and a FAT32 partition
for Windows 98/Me.
Set up the FAT32 partition at the start of the hard disk, and ensure that
it is less than 8 GB (i.e. 8,192 MB) in size. Try 8,000 MB as an example.
Run the Setup of Windows 98 or Me normally. Then run XP Setup and choose New
Installation (Advanced) at the Setup screen. When you get to the Setup
Options screen, click Advanced Options. At the Advanced Options screen,
click "I want to choose the install drive letter and partition."
This will give you a C: drive with Windows XP on it, and a later drive
letter (on my system it is H:) for Windows XP. At boot, or re-boot, you can
choose the operating system.
If this is not what you are trying to do, then re-post a more complete
description.
