Re: Downloading Personal Oracle for Windows 98

[Quoted] To install Windows NT you will either need to remove WIN98 or partition [Quoted] 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 [Quoted] 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.
