Check here for service pack 5: http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nt...6redirect%3Dno .

If you are wanting NT to be the only OS on this machine you can do it that way. If you want to dual-boot NT and 98, load 98 first on a C: partition of 2GB. Once Windows 98 is up and running, you can just pop in the NT CD. It will start the setup and copy the files to your HD so you won't have to use the floppies. Once this is done, boot to NT (NT has a boot loader that gives you the option of NT or 98) install the service pack and then use disk administrator to set up the rest of your partitions. You can also use PartitionMagic to do this but don't use PartitonMagic in NT, use it in 98. Hope this helps clarify.
