first of all the reason i want to know this is i bought an old soccer game called fifa 2000 that is not compatible with win xp which i didnt realise when i bought it. the game installs but when you go to play it from the desktop a screen opens but then i get a microsoft error saying there was a fifa 2006 icd error. i have tried running incompatibility with win 95 and 98 but no good. i have also tried a few different game patches and fixes but none worked. i have tried updating drivers and also tried some sort of microsoft patch.the game patches i tried where no cd patches i thought id try them even though i have the genuine cd and the microsoft patch was for some of their old games that had similiar problem,i have since wiped all those things and done a fresh install of the game but still no good. my question is i have a 80 gb hard drive partioned into two 40gb drives can i put win98 on the 40gb partition that has nothing on it and run my game through win98.

yes u can have 2 OS on same system, but XP doesnot allow 98 installation, so first u have to install win 98, and then after that, use another drive to install winXP.

you can have multiple OS on a HDD
For your case, you need to format c:\ to FAT32 if you want to install Win98 and WinXP on your HDD. Win98 can not read NTFS.
Note: Windows XP will lose File Level Security ( files and folders access rights control)
