It is easily possible. I have done that on both of my computers. I have my hard
disk partitioned using PartitionMagic 6.0, Windows 98 installed on C: and
Windows XP on D: The only disadvantage appears if you like to play computer
chess tournaments as I do - on one computer, inputting moves manually, PB off
etc, as windows 98 is good for Rebel, but it is bad where it comes to stopping
currently inactive programs from using CPU. Windows XP is perfect in this
regard. Now the problem comes: If one wants to include Rebel in any tournament,
he (or she ;-) will be forced to install all other chess programs twice. Or
remain in Windows 98 and be ready to deal with its shortcomings.
