Just did all this today, so I know it wont be a problem so long as you
keep everything below the 1024 cylinder, and make sure that however LBA

the Boot manager.

Windows 98: n.
useless extension to a minor patch release for
32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a
16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system

1 bit of competition.
