Newbie to Win2K. Help appreciated.

Recommended Posts

ok guys, im not a newbie to computers, but am a newbie to NT (win2k). Lets start off with the basics:

 

1. I would like to keep win98 installed. can i partition my drive into a c: and d: and stick 98 on c: and 2k on d ;( if so, how do i choose which OS to boot to on startup?

 

2.Will i have any probs w/ the following hardware in win2k?

celery 550

Abit BH6

TNT 1 pci (stb v4400)

MX300

realmagic dvd decoder

toshiba dvd-rom

WD hard drive

netgear 10/100 pci NIC (for cable modem)

Zoom 56k dualmode isa modem

usb intellimouse

usb scanner (umax 1220U)

 

3. i assume i should d/l NT drivers for this stuff after install. correct?

 

4.when i get to the point of trying out some software, do i need to install directX or is it built in?

 

that's it for now. any other usefull info would be helpful smile Thanks for your time!

 

oh yeah, 2k supports fat32 right?
