I expect the order of installation has to be in the order of

At least WIN98 must be installed first.

I had a dual boot with DOS 6.22 and WinXP. The manufacturer
software
for a video routing switcher does not run correctly with WinXP so
I
changed it to triple boot (added win98se) and did not have to
re-install XP. I used Partition Magic to resize the partitions and
add
a 3rd. Win98se went in third and also runs fine.

Wow, DOS 6.22 and Win98SE? Almost makes more sense just to dedicate
an
older computer for legacy devices. I'm impressed that DOS 6.22
could
recognize your newer hardware...

I dusted off an ancient NEC '486 laptop from the garage, running
Windows 98... planning on using its serial ports to play with my
PICAXE
microcontroller project. (I have a feeling Windows 2000 won't like
me
talking directly to the serial ports.)

OK -- do yah one better. The Gigabyte Athlon XP 3200 can access a flash
drive directly from DOS provided the drive was plugged in during boot
up into DOS. Surprised me too when I found it out considering there are
no drivers of any kind in DOS. I was going to transfer DOS files onto a
shared FAT16 partion that is visible to both OSs. I copied the files
onto D: and then could not find them in Win XP. When I checked F: in
Win XP, the files were one the flash drive. Now I have to check if DOS
can access Compact Flash cards.

BTW, Tango schematic and PCB run like HELL on the Athlon 3200.
