Dual booting with Windows 2000 and Windows 98SE

I am in a spot of bother. I already have Windows 2000 SP4
set up on an NTFS disk. I recently acquired a seperate HDD,
and wish to install Win98SE (FAT32 obviously). Everywhere
I've read says that I must install Windows 98SE first, but
this is impossible as I don't wont to format/reinstall
Win2000. Is there anyway of multibooting? I don't need to
interact between the two disks (i.e. when I use win98se, I
don't need to see any of the files on the NTFS formatted HDD).

Thanks in advance.

It's only Microsoft's dopey multiboot scheme that requires 98 to be
installed first, but that's not a genuine multiboot. Take a look at a real
boot manager, such as XOSL (www.ranish.com/part/xosl.htm), GAG
(sourceforge.net), or BootIt-NG (www.bootitng.com).
