We recently purchased I-DEAS CAD software which requires WinNT to run. Being CAD operator, I'm the one who should change his OS. I'm get used to Win98 and don't want to migrate fully to NT. So, is it possible to run both Win98 and WinNT on the same (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) What is it about 98 that you like that NT doesn't give you? NT 4 and 98 are quite similar in look and feel, and I'd argue that NT is a bit better in system control.

Thank you very much guys,..:-) Tried several things, and find that the most appropriate one is a small freeware named "Ranish Partiton Manager" (exist at winfiles.com) which is a very small (only about 100K with documentation) but effective program (...)
