Titolo: Installare win 98 se dopo aver installato Nt server

Ho già installato Nt server ed ora ho bisogno di installare sullo stesso
disco in un'altra partizione windows98 se.
Qualcuno c'e' già riuscito ?
So che Microsoft consiglia di fare il contrario ma mi spiacerebbe molto
dover reinstallare NT.
Se la FAt 16 di NT non va bene potrei cambiarla con qualche utiliy di Linux
(o con Partition Magik sempre per Linux)

dover reinstallare NT.
Nel mio caso avevo degli strani problemi di riconoscimento del controller
SCSI. Per qualche motivo, che non sono ancora riuscito a comprendere,
l'installazione di NT Server falliva se partivo da Win 98, mentre ero
riuscito alla rovescia: a installare cioe' Win NT 4.0, quindi Win 98.
Purtroppo non ricordo piu' con esattezza la procedura che avevo seguito, ma
certamente era compresa in una delle faq di questi due siti:
http://www.ntfaq.com/

Spero di esserti stato utile.

Q. I have Windows NT installed, how do I install Windows 98?
A. As with the installation of Windows 95, the system partition (the
active partition, c:) must be FAT and not NTFS as Windows 98 cannot read
or write to an NTFS partition. Windows 98 places 
COMMAND.COM
 on the
active partition (along with a blank autoexec.bat).
If you system partition is not FAT then you should back up your data,
reformat the partition as FAT and restore the backup.
Windows 98 is normally NT boot menu friendly which means it will not
replace the boot loader code of the disk and instead automatically adds
an option to the boot menu (boot.ini) of the format
C:\="Microsoft Windows 98"
This means upon booting the machine Windows 98 or NT can be chosen.
To be on the safe side before installing Windows 98 create a new
Emergency Repair Disk for NT using RDISK.EXE
Windows 98 cannot be installed from within Windows NT so if you have DOS
also installed, boot from DOS (its boot menu item will be replaced after
the Windows 98 installation with the Windows 98 name) and run the
setup.exe on the Windows 98 installation disk.
If you do not have DOS installed you should boot off of a DOS boot disk
with a driver for your CD-ROM and again run SETUP.EXE.
Once installation has started you will be able to choose the
installation drive and directory (only FAT partitions will be allowed).
If there are NTFS partitions on the system a warning will be given that
the contents will not be viewable under Windows 98.
Once installation has completed no user action is needed and you may
boot off of either installation.
If you find you DON'T have the NT boot menu and the machine boots
straight into 98 perform the following:
Reboot the machine and boot off of the NT installation disks 
After 2 disk will give options, press R for repair 
Deselect all options except "Inspect Boot Sector" and continue 
Press Enter to detect hardware and insert disk 3 
The procedure will ask if you have an Emergency Repair Disk (ERD), say
Yes and insert the ERD. 
The machine will then reboot into NT again 
Once in NT goto a DOS session and type
attrib c:\boot.ini -r -s -h 
Edit boot.ini and insert at the bottom
c:\=Microsoft Windows 98 
Type - attrib c:\boot.ini +r +s +h 
Reboot the machine and you will have Windows98 and NT options. 
Ensure once you have completed the Windows 98 installation you do NOT
upgrade the active partition to FAT32. Windows NT 4.0 cannot read FAT32
and converting the active partition to FAT32 will render the NT boot
menu unusable and unbootable.
