Hi, I have Win98se, and when I install Y2K I can boot to either OS. But, when I change settings in a game, it changes in both OS. The same for setting up my DSL. I'll have it set up in 98se, and when I set it up in Y2K, then it no longer works in 98. Will Partition solve this, and do I have to format or just Partition with 98se all ready installed? Thanks

Another happy ending for me.I was successful in partition and getting too OS working. Just a little trouble with (partition commander) I should of red the book, because I ended up having to partition with a boot up disk. But, it's done and works. Thanks. Also, if it wasn't for Toms reader's, I wouldn't of gave Y2K another chance, I had it, but didn't use it.
