First install 98 under MS-DOS, then modify BOOT.INI.

If you are not very familiar with computers, it is recommended not to install it, because win98 will modify the partition table, thus causing win2003 to fail to boot.
In addition, from personal experience, having two systems is not good. I used to have winxp and win98 coexist. As a result, that win98 was used only a few times (it was newly installed), and then there were blue screens and freezes, etc. I guess that one operating system may have an impact on the other system.
In a word, it is still better to focus on using one system.

It's quite simple. First, install Windows 98 under DOS, then put in the 2003 CD for repair installation. When you start up again, the dual-boot menu will appear! This is a relatively clumsy method, suitable for novice players. You can also repair it through a certain software! If you want to play 98, you can just install it in a virtual machine!

If all partitions are NTFS, then I'm sorry, you can't install Win98 unless you format the partitions.

You can use PARAGON PARTITION MANAGER to convert NTFS to FAT32 without data loss.

A relatively simple method is to install Win98 as usual. After installation, put the Win2003 installation CD into the drive and boot to repair the system.

My computer has Win98 + 2000 + XP coexisting, and there has been no situation like what brother wl00560 mentioned about "causing an impact on another system".

There is a code page issue when converting NTFS to FAT32. If this issue is not resolved, then lossless conversion is just empty talk.

Having the 936 code page is enough. This thing shouldn't be hard to find. If you don't have it, I can send one to you.

Paragon can achieve lossless conversion.

When I was most bored, I installed simultaneously:
Windows 98
Windows Me
MS-DOS 6.22 + Windows 3.11
MS-DOS 7.10
Windows 2000 Pro
Windows XP
Windows 2000 Advanced Server
And OS/2, WFW 3.11 in a virtual machine
These several systems are on a 20GB hard drive.

I heard that there is a foreign system super mysterious, installing 50 different systems on the same computer, that is really a great person!
Virtual machines don't count, before I installed (6) on one computer
Windows 98
windows 2000
windows XP Chinese
windows XP English
windows 2003
Redhat Linux 9.0

Is it using the computer or playing with the computer! Now I like a system more and more. It's enough and practical, that's enough. After Vista SP2 comes out, I'll change the computer and install one, and use it for seven or eight years. XP is really good.
