Dual-boot

Has anyone tried setting up dual-booting for WinXP and Win98SE on a notebook?

Notebook is a Compaq Presario 2500series with Combo CD-RW/DVD.

Is it any different to setting it up on a DesktopPC?

By the way what would be the best combination of Microsoft OS to setup a dual-boot?

Thanks gurus!

Shouldn't be any different than setting it up on a PC. After you partition, make sure you install 98SE first, then XP.

By "best combination", do you mean the best O/S's to dual boot? I'd say you're fine with 98SE and XP
