I have 55Gb free on one hard drive.Partition magics not an option. But if i Fdisk it, will i lose data already on the drive.

Sick no being able to play old games so 2k/98 dual boot is called for.

Cheers for replys, preferably in the next half hour.

yes by Fdisking you will wipe the disk mate. you can get software which allows you to run 2 OS's. Just for the life of me cannot remember what the software that does it is called.

You'll also need to install '95/'98 BEFORE 2000 goes on.
Otherwise if 2000 is already on, the 9x install will overwrite the boot record, and 2k wont boot either!

Have fun!

Ahhh, that'll be the original version of '95!

Sounds like you need '95 OSR2
Or just '98!
