Q: For work I needed to boot 98SE, ME, 2K and XP Pro. Ive dual booted and 9x/Me 2k/XP before so I understand the whole system 9x/Me 2k/XP then get the boat ntloader menu.
Question: I
How 98SE and Me to dual-boot?
Best Answer: usually you should follow those steps
1- Copy the Cute partition Manager in a CD
2- Restart your computer
3- during the windows starts press Entf
4- in BOIS adjust window to boot from CD
5- when the Cute PM boots you can define which or how many portion you like.
But
usually Linux during the installation creates the partitions automatically.
Re:Testing purposes.
I have to be able to proove that user issues are not related to the OS. So while 98 and Me are basically the same, I have to load each on something and be able to run it.
Re:I'm telling ya Ranish can do it all!
Google Ranish.
Re:May I ask as to why you need to dual-boot 9x/ME? They are virtually the same thing with just few tweaks here and there.

So are you guys saying that it is not possible to have a system boot 98SE and ME and XP/2000, etc?
I was thinking I could do the following:
1) Install 98SE on a drive.
2) Install 2000 on a drive.
3) Install XP on a drive.
4) Backup the mbr.
5) Install ME
6) Restore the backed-up mbr and add the me drive?
Will that work?
get a laptop for each O/S…less headache…hehe
Re:Because Win9x and WinME are DOS-based, you cannot "naturally" install more than one of them on one hard drive. It is possible, but you will need third-party software like BootMagic (part of PartitionMagic package) or System Commander. These tools will, in essence, hide Win98 from WinME (and vice versa). Multi-booting any versions of NT (NT4, 2K, XP, Server 2K3) and one DOS-based Windows (again, 95, 98, 98SE, ME) can be done "naturally" without any third-party tools.
-SUO, currently multi-boots ME, 2K, XP, and 2K3 (with Linux and FreeBSD for good measure)

Throw a blanket party for your boss and then look further into vmware.

Re:You might be better off looking at vmware (http://www.vmware.com/products/vmanage/vc_features.html) or multiple machines and a KVM. What your proposing sounds like a major headace.
