    I have XP on my system. It was preinstalled when I bought it. I don't have the CD. I do have a Windows 98 CD from my old system. I want to play a game (Gabriel Knight 3) which will only run on Win 95/98. However when I try to install i98 it wants to overwrite the existing OS. Is there any way to get the 98 CD to install, whithout damaging XP? Thanks

    You'll have to get a program like Partition Magic or another drive.

    Try running the game in Compatability Mode in XP.
