Is it your intent to make this a W98 machine rather than W2K? I would strongly
urge you to re-consider this step as W2K runs with so much more stability on the
600 vs. W98.
If you simply want to add W98 to the machine, a recovery CD is _not_ the means
to do it, you need a retail copy of W98. You cannot use two different IBM
recovery CDs to load two operating systems, as they will both _only_ load to the
C: partition of the drive and will over-write each other. Neither CD contains a
retail copy of the OS, but rather a drive image of the OS as installed on the
relevant system.
Even with a retail copy of W98, if you want to retain your install of W2K and
have a dual boot machine, you'll need something like BootManager or similar. Or,
if you were able to obtain a recovery CD in W98 for your system, you could use
that to install W98 to your C: partition and then use a retail copy of W2K to
install to your D: partition. W2K will automatically load the boot manager to
the C: partition so you can dual boot the machine if you choose this option
during installation, which I strongly recommend.

James
