I am presently running W98SE & Win2000 on the same drive with 98 as the
original OS in a small 1G partition. No apps just the OS. All apps
were installed on drives D & E also small partitions <1G. Using
Partition Magic, others can be used, I made room for a 40G primary
partition between 98 and D which was made active for the installation of
Win2000. After the installation was complete the boot manager gave, and
still does, me the option of Win2000 (default if nothing is done) or
Win98SE if I select that to boot from. All runs normally for the booted
OS after bootup is complete. Normal permissions for Administrator,
Power User, etc. are fully in place with Win2000 OS. If the computer is
part of a LAN with other machines running Win2000 also then the Win98
version will have to have a User created with Permissions set on the
other machines allowing that user to be part of the Workgroup.
