glocK_94 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 True. I also would rather use two separate hard disks so that I can devote one hd for XP and the other for 98. Problem is, is that I have two HDs right now, one of them is for my OS and the other is for my backups/downloads and whatnot. I wouldn't want to format the hard drive. I'll find a workaround though. Some programs allow you to convert partitions between NTFS<->FAT32, resize partitions, relocate them on the disk, even with data on them...Personnaly I use an old "Partition Magic" for this job and did it quite a few times without damaging any data. However, this is payware.You might wanna check similar programs like 'Gparted' that Idontwantspam told you about.Having both XP and 98 partitions in FAT32 would let you modify any OS from the other one, which can be usefull for quick fixing / getting rid of virus... However, if your XP partition is already NTFS, you might wanna skip the pain of convesion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
