I have upgraded my OS from Win98 to Win2000 Professional.  Win2000 is on my
C:\ drive with NTFS and I have another 2 partitions with FAT32 on my 10.2GB
HDD. I tried to reinstall Win98 on my D:\ partition but got this message:

"Cannot created a temporary directory, if you have HPFS or NTFS installed on
your Startup Drive, you will need to create a MS-DOS boot partition to
set-up
Windows."

The setup.txt file on my Win98 CD says that I need to create an MS-DOS boot
partition on the Startup Drive C:\  in order to enable Win98 installation.
How do I create an MS-DOS boot partition on my C:\  drive with NTFS?

Please Help.  Please Help.  Please Help ...
