Sry i didn read your 2nd post about the compatibility mode, anyway if that doesnt work u can always use magic to divide your hard disc in 2 and u can change the format to whatever u want (Like from fat32 to NTFS). And after that u can install win. 98 on the format u created.

If Home is giving you problems, get Win XP Pro, install Service Pack 2, and download Microsoft Virtual Machine and install Windows 98 in Virtual Machine

I think Virtual Machine is a better way to use Win 98, VM is freed and the OS on VM just a file, you didn't need a new partition, just a free space large enough.

PM: FAT32 didn't support a file larger than 4GB

I've never seen it done. 'warning you will lose all data' means what it says.

You? mentioned DOS games. Try running Dosbox. I'm using it under XP, playing all sorts of ancient games. Once I figured out how to set up auto mounting (of drives etc) it was simple to use. If I still had xtree I'd be flying even higher.

See the site:
