4 should work, because 3.0 did. Actually, I don't know if it worked for
win98, but it did work for win95 and linux (ext2), as well as many other
operating systems. However, I spoke with a computer store clerk last
december who said that althought 98 didn't exist when pm 3.0 came out, 3.0
worked for his 98 system. 3.0 also worked for nt.
I don't think you should have any problems using 4 for 98 and I'ld even use
3.0 for 98.
Fire it up and read the documentation for 4.
Are you considering purchasing pm 4 or borrowing it, because 4 is not the
current release, which is at least 5.0; unless that's been backed out.
You can also check PM's web site. The company is or was named PowerQuest,
but if it's changed, then do a search on "partition magic". Should be easy
to find.
