Well, I don't know about articles, but it's easy.
Partition your hard drive with at least one partition per OS. Start with the dumbest OS. In this case, Win98. Install it to whichever partition. Next, install NT4. Last, install Win2k The boot menu will be automatically setup. |

Don't forget - if you want NT4 in this equation, the boot partition MUST be FAT16 unless you use some kind of boot manager other than Micro$oft's.

My multiboot relies on Partition Commander, which has a cool wizard
for installing new OS's. Makes everything really simple, when you get a feel for what you're doing, you can shut the wizard down and do it yourself. Partition Magic is comparable, but I like it a bit less. Finding a boot manager that works well is the key to multiple OS's. Now I'm learning alternate OS's as I acquire them, with no fear of losing my familiar bases in Win3.11 and Win98. |
