Can I install Windows 98 on an XP machine either on a partition or preferably a USB harddrive? A old friend has some old games he loves and wants the portability of his laptop but still able to play the old games, most of which I suppose are DOS.

Jump to PostHi,
Yes you can make a separate partition and install that or on that or on a usb devise.Do you know that you can run most if not all of those games in XP?
Go to this site and read about it there:-
