Is there a way to get VGS to work by installing multiple OS systems?

March 17th, 2002, 23:59

I have XP and want VGS, I also have win 98 cd, so can I somehow install 98 without losing win XP, so I can use VGS

Partition Magic is a very good solution to create a 2nd partion, without having to reformat.

Another alternatives are:

1- Connectix Virtual PC trial
2- If you have 2 hard drives, change the BIOS to boot from the 2nd hard drive and install Win98
3- Format everything, create 2 partitions with FDISK then install Win98 in C:, after that install XP in D:

I have and i must say, it's slow...

It's actually pretty cool though, it took about 40 minutes to install 98 and reguarly it takes 10 minutes to install it
