Dual boot 98 on 2000

I'm installing 98 on a win2k comp for a friend. He doenst want me to format cuz he has everything the way he wants it. I used PM to hide the NTFS partition and installed 98 on "H". It's on the third partition on the primary master drive.

How do I dualboot this now?

If I set which ever partition to active, it boots. But when I set the NTFS to active and try to boot 98 it just restarts.

I have this after the windows 2000 line in boot.ini

H:\="Microsoft Windows 98"

I've also tried it w/ H:\WINDOWS="....

How do I fix this without using a third party loader?

Don't you have BootMagic with Partition Magic? If so that would make it a LOT easier, as Windows 98 really needs to be installed first.

You might be able to change the partition of the win2k to something else and try installing Windows 98 on C:...

Wow you respond fast. Dont have bootmagic installed on his comp. I was trying to avoid third party apps but I will install it if I have to. Is there any other way?

Could I somehow put NTLDR onto the 98 partition and dual boot that way?

I agree. 98 should been installed first. Need a boot manager at this point I'm afraid.
