Im not sure, but i think its possible, it will require u to install win98 on the 1st partition however. U will hav to install DOS/win3.1 on the second partition and it will hav to be the first os that u install. U will also need to set up a boot menu in ur autoexec.bat and config.sys files in order to be able to boot into win3.1. U need to set up the commands something similar to this (someone correct me if im wrong, its been quite a while since i done this):

config.sys

[common]

place ne device drivers in here that u need to load in both configurations

[win98]

ne device drivers in here that u need to load only in win98

[win31]

ne device drivers in here that u need to load only in win3.1

[menu]

MENUITEM=win98, Start Computer with Windows 98

MENUITEM=win31, Start Computer with Windows 3.1

MENUCOLOR=7,0

Autoexec.bat:

Ne progs/commands u need to put in here goes here

%goto%config

:win98

c:\"ur windows98 directory"\win.com

goto end

:win31

d:\"ur win3.11 directory"\win.com

goto end

:end

Note u probably wont b able to use winxp/2k/2k3 with this configuration.

Also u will need a copy of dos 6.22 as win3.1 wont run on win9x/me dos

Win98 on 1st partition, Win31 on 2nd partition. PartitionMagic/BootMagic to control the boot. See www.powerquest.com for more info.
