I have Windows 98 installed, how do I install NT?

A. A. The only requirement for installing Windows NT after Windows 98 isthat the system partition (C:) is not FAT32 as Windows NT cannot read FAT32 (atleast until version 5.0 of NT which has full FAT32 support).

If the active partition is FAT32 you will need to convert it back to FAT16or see 'Q. I have Windows 98 installed on C:with FAT32, how do I install NT?'. There are a number of 3rd partyapplications that can do this, e.g. Partition It from QuarterDeck(http://www.quarterdeck.com). I have never used it but other people haverecommended it.

To begin the installation of NT just boot into Windows 98 and runWINNT32.EXE from the Windows NT installation and proceed as normal (selectinstall not upgrade). The Windows NT installation procedure will automaticallydetect the Windows 98 installation and add it to the NT boot menu.

Do NOT upgrade the system partition to NTFS using the CONVERT.EXEcommand as Windows 98 will no longer be able to boot.
