Yep, doing it right now on 3 different machines. One machine, in
fact, has Windows Millenium, WinNT 4 (workstation), WinNT 4 (server),
and Windows 2000 (advanced server) on it...
There are some partitioning issues you'll be faced with, and you may
run into problems if your first primary partition is fat32 and not
fat16, but it is definitely doable.
If you're willing to wipe, fdisk, and set the machine up from scratch
here's what I have done before:
Primary
C: 1 gig fat16 - where Win98 lives (and more importantly the NT
boot files)
Extended
D: 1 gig ntfs - where NT lives (logical drive)
E: the rest, and if huge (say more than a gig) I make it fat32.
And I use the fat32 driver for NT from sysinternals to let it look at
the fat32 partition. That way both OS's get use of all the shared
space. If less than a gig, stick with fat16 for "the rest".
