I'm Running Vista but looking to dual boot with Win 98..

[jackedwardmorris95]

Hi all,
I have quite a good collection of old games Such as Mig Alley, and European air war. However Vista, being resource heavy doesn't run these games at all, unless you put it in Win 98 compatibility mode, then it runs them like a slide show. I have quite an amount of stuff on my vista thats why I want to dual boot. I wondered if anyone could give some advice on this matter. (I have about 20gb free but I would be able to make more space!) My DxDiag is attached.
Thanks very Much,

Jack

I'm sorry but this isn't of much use to me, I am running neither of these OS's and as a complete noob I really don't know what do with this, If you can find one that has Vista in somwhere it would be much appreciated,
Thanks Anyway,

Jack

Hmmmm, it says: "Install Windows 98, install .NET 2.0 on 98, run EasyBCD -> Bootloader Managemnt -> Reinstall Vista Bootloader",

As I am a noob I don't know what that means, but does it mean that I have to install 98 first, that would be a problem as I am running vista with a hole load of stuff on my hard drive and nowhere to store it...

It may be time to contact DirtMan !
