Help please anyone.

My computer is running WinXP Pro formatted as NTFS on one partition of my
hard drive. I have another partition that is formatted to FAT32.

I have games that are not compatible with NTFS...Is it possible for me to
install either WIN98se or WIN Me on the FAT32 partition so I could boot into
either and if so how do I do it?

Please note that I'm not that good with technical terms....even if my
question might lead you to think that I am

Hii i had the same problem with few games. I just removed compression to
those games folder and it worked fine. Some games check file size as
integrity check and if they dont recognise ntfs then the game mistakes as
the files are corrupt. Anyways these were very primitive games. Most of the
games today have no problem running on ntfs or fat.
