Install Win XP in a Ubuntu System?

Question

I have a system installed with win 98 and ubuntu 6.06 dual boot, now I want to install win XP, can anyone help me how to do that with out disturbing win 98 and ubuntu

Answer 1

XP and 98 should be able to make nice when on the same partition. It is just 2000 and ME that get eaten by XP. To be on the safe side, I would still only do it on a separate partition. As for dual boot with 3 systems, I don't know about that. The best way would be to dual boot XP and Ubuntu, and use VMWare Workstation or Microsoft Virtual PC to make a Virtual 98 machine. That way, you can format your main partition NTFS, use XP as your main Windows workstation, and just boot up 98 when you run your legacy apps. Windows XP does have legacy mode and all kinds of stuff for backward-compatability, so you really should be able to run old stuff on XP.

that's obtainable, yet you're able to desire to partition the foremost HDD that has your important device on it, deploy Linux, go into the bios device to set the default OS, and whenever you desire to apply the different OS, you're able to desire to circulate into the boot strategies at startup and choose the OS you desire to apply. that's a sturdy little bit of artwork however.
