Dual-boot Win98/2K systems aren't exactly 'growing on trees', but it would
just so happen that I built one two years ago, for an auto repair shop. (They run
older DOS diagnostic programs on 98SE, and their parts ordering systems on Win2K).
Yes, Drive D: (Win2K) is FAT32 (meaning Win98 can access it), and both O.S.'s had
AVG on them, so I drove over there to avert a possible problem.
Guess what? They had uninstalled AVG from Win98 a month ago, and replaced it with
ClamWin. When I asked why, they
said that they thought it might be a good idea to have two different A/V's on the
machine (one on each O.S.). They can scan the Win2K drive with ClamWin from Win98,
for instance, and this is a good idea, really!
AVG 7.5.472 is on their Win2K partition, I ran it today and scanned the computer
(C: and D: drives, Win98 and Win2K) and it found no 'positives' (true or false).
