Order in Partitioning

--- Hello,
I have a 20Gb HD, and it is partitioned into two 10Gb units.
The first drive, I installed win 2000 and XP second. Now my old wants to play on your PC and came with a CD of games that do not run the two operating systems above.
I want then to satisfy it, install win98.
Doubt:
Using partition magic, create a new partition, the third, to install win98. This partition would be the first partition
If so, there would be any problem with other partitions to create this new partition in front, or would the win98 and win2000 would move to second and third partition for xp
If not, I create this new particicao in the end (Win2000, win xp after then win98) work
Would any alternative to solve the problem Without having to format the machine
Thanks to everyone who can collaborate.
Hug.

--- If you want to have win 98 with 2000 and XP, all you have to co starts early, or install win 98 after xp or 2000 (xp and 2000 is equal to order of installation) the only rule is that you install the 98 before, but to do this you have to install it first. and must be in c:, and the c: in fat 32! --- From

yes! There does not need to reinstall!
With partition magic resize the partitions so that the beginning of the disk I get a free space, this space, create a primary partition and mark it as active. install 98, then the partition magic and BootMagic. without the magic boot you will not be able to access other systems installed. Doubts
post here! --- How

thiagomz said, you just need to resize existing partitions to make room (if applicable). The order in which partitions will be of no importance, and not have to reinstall anything. Just prepare a partition for win98.

--- Very nice, nice. Thanks for the help, but ...
But just do not understand a thing!
When moving the partitions in partition magic, creating a new partition (the first) that the system will boot to make the necessary changes, and when you do, do not find operating system, because the primary partition will have an empty partition.
What I said above accurate How to troubleshoot
Again I thank all the attention.
Thanks.

--- This does not happen, because regardless of the position in which the partition is, it only gives boot if it is marked as active (a type of signal that tells the system which partition is allowed to boot). So even if Partition create a new primary partition, who still marked as active is the old partition, which existed before and that has the operating system installed.

--- I tried to do that colleagues have suggested, what happened was this: In
Win 2000 (first partition) ran the partition Magic, reshaping both the first (win2000) and the second (XP) partition. Then left a space at the beginning that I put as active and as a named win98. The system then booting up.
Upon reset, loaded the win2000 and began to carry the alterations. Then the magic partition resized and moved to the XP partition on the good, but when was resize and move the win2000 partition (first partition) it gave error.
This case he would be moving the contents of the win2000 which is loaded in time, so maybe the error.
What step by step recipe to work What is the order of the procedures
Thanks Guys.

--- Does anyone know report it Is this really possible
Thanks.

--- What is the mistake that he's giving The PM has a bootable disk that can be used to make it do all operations outside of Windows. Will PM if you load the floppy for this does not solve the problem ---

Is an option, I'll try. Then post the result here or new difficulties.
Thanks.
Hug.

--- Well, I
installation as suggested. I created the floppy and procedure changes outside the windows.
Great, the PM created the partitions, just right. After I installed Win 98 on the first partition, and so far great.
Data were still there.
Installed after the win 98 boot magic so I could get into other operating systems. Ha ha ha, wishful thinking. Not entered at all. A step was missing, or some snot went wrong.
So to solve the problem, over the reintalei win 2000 and win XP, each in its own partition. So then, everything worked ... Almost everything, because programs that were already installed danced. When reinstalled, it must have overwritten the registry and then lost ficarm programs. Solution: Reinstall all over again.
Gonna be a good job, but ...
The procedure works well. Better than having to format everything.
Thanks to everyone who contributed.
Hug guys.
