I have Win2k on disk 1 (all partitions are NTFS5) and Win98 on disk 2 first partition. I can got into the BIOS and tell it to boot from disk 2 but can I use the W2K bootloader to boot to 98?

I'm not sure about your boot loader question, but I can run Quake3, Diablo2, and Unreal Tournament on my Win2K box.

[sidenote: I get 2 .dll errors when I start Unreal, but then it goes into the game and works just fine. strange.]
