Normally Win98 will run on any partition except that
io.sys, msdos.sys, autoexec.bat, config.sys, etc. must
be on first partition of first hard drive. If Win2k
is installed then boot.ini is used to select which OS
to run. If Win98 is selected then msdos.sys tells it
where to look for the rest of the OS. Not sure if
Win2k bootloader will allow you to put entire Win98 on
a logical partition but it should allow you to have
multiple installs of Win2k on different partitions
(also selected on boot from the options in boot.ini).

Subject: Question on W2000 & partitioning
I want to create a new partition and restore a W2000
image to it in order to test making it run faster.
Will W2000 run from a logical/extended partition? Or
must it be run from a primary partition?
Win98 will run from a logical/extended partition,
right? I need to run that to support this TDK sound
card, and play MP3s from another partition.
Thx,
Matt
