Re: Downloading Personal Oracle for Windows 98

To install Windows NT you will either need to remove WIN98 or partition your hard drive, place NT in a separate partition, and run a "Dual Boot" system. The best way to do this is to purchase Partition Magic from PowerQuest and follow the instructions. It is possible to do this without PM, but I'm not that much of a techie. With PM, the job is reasonably easy and straightforward. Never tried running Oracle on '98, had it on '95 - Personal Oracle worked fine, Developer crawled. On the NT partition of my NT4/98 box, both products work great. If you already have NT, by all means load it up and use it to run Oracle.
