I have windows XP on NTFS. In order to play Rebel I partitioned 500 Mb to FAT by
Partition Magic 7. (FAT 32 is also possible)
Then I installed the Rebel directly on that partition.
I booted with a win98 floppy disk. NTFS was now invisible and Rebel was found on
the only visible partition C:
I played Rebel on that partition without installing win98.
