Win 98 + ME Dual-Boot??

[Christoph]

Has anyone tried to make a dual-boot system with these 2 Windows versions?

I do not want to toast my system even if I have most stuff backed up - It's just a pain in the b... to reverse an upgrade and I'd like to test everything first.

How did you guys upgraded? Did you made a copy of the 98 folder first?

Any response is appreciated!!

I have my drive partitioned, so my data wasn't on the same drive as my OS. I booted from the ME CD with CD support, changed to my windows directory, deleted the WIN.COM file, switched to the CD drive and ran setup. Everything upgraded fine. I did have a driver issue with my All-in-Wonder, but a quick download from ATI of their special purpose drivers cured that in a hurry.

I tried, did not work. ME overwrote my 98 boot sector, had to rebuild. arrrgggg

I have it working.
Get a boot manager (I highly recommend http://www.xosl.org )
Install it, set it up, and boot from any partition on any HD in your system.
