If I have win98se on drive C: and I want to set up a
dual boot with XPpro, I have to install XP to a different volume.

Asus P5P800, Pentium D dual core.

If my current disk is partitioned so it has two partitiions, and I add a new drive ( also two partitions), then old drive will be seen as c: and e:.
The new drive will be seen as d: and f:

So XP would be installed on d:

The old drive is IDE and the new one is SATA.

I will have to use fat32 for the new drive so win98 can see it.

So;

what happens later on if I want to remove win98?

Can I have the XP ( d drive set to c: ( boot drive 1 in bios) or will I have to leave it as d:
Since its not IDE, IDE1 will not be C:


Will I have problems converting everything to NTFS later on?
