NT4 setup automatically puts on a boot menu when you install it. It also has a partition setup thing in the setup, but PartitionMagic would probably be better, especially since I know for sure that PQMagic doesn't destroy data when resizing/creating partitions, with the NT setup might.
Have just done this...well looked over some one's shoulder anyway, and remember this was to a virgin disk
Ok 20gig hard disk
1. FDISK delete it all, back your stuff up first of course
2. Setup primary partition of 8 gig (you choose sizes just example)
3. Format partition which dos.
4. Load Windows 98...this must come ahead of NT...
5. Setup next 10 gig as boot partition.
6. Load NT to it....
When you boot at end of NT load, NT will offer dual booting to either OS version.
Remember you will have to load your drivers to both OS's.
The windows Boot manager is crap and clumsy, get a copy of system commander, partition magic and symantec ghost and then you can create all the partitions, ghost images and boot sequences you ever want. (If you live in sydney contact me)
