New partition help
Hi
I would like add a second partition to my hard drive with its own OS strickly for gaming. Basically, I want to devide the 80gig hdd in half and use win98 again as the OS in this new partition while keeping the existing win98 operational too. I figure this possible, but have never worked out the details to do it. A step by step explanation or links to detailed info would be of tremendous help. Thanks! My rig specs: P4 2.0 (400fsb) Asus P4S533dx WD 80gig 7200 8mg 512mg pc2700 Radeon 9000pro Win 98se |

If you want a dual boot with 98 on both, you will need a 3rd party boot manager such as System Commander or XOSL. If you want to keep what you have operational without losing it, you need something like Partition Magic to shrink the existing partition and make a new one nondestructively.
