it should. win2000 is a version of winNT and like winNT, is stable.

You won't need to switch back after you have experienced the power of Windows 2000...

I have a Win98 partition sitting on my hard drive doing nothing but chewing up 6 gigs of space.

I think he just means a FAT32 partition he has setaside for 98 probley can boot to it. Win2000 can live on a drive with 98 and you can choose which to boot up (but why?)
