Dual boot with two different drives

[Guest]

I curranty have windows 98 on my computer. I would like to add a nother hard
drive and install Win XP Pro on that one. Can I have a dual boot option for
the two drives?

Yes. You can install Windows XP on another hard drive. Note also that you
can Windows XP on machine running Windows 98, but you can not install
Windows 98 on machine running Windows XP.

Yes. I believe that if you boot from the XP disk it will offer you the
option of setting up a dual-boot system.

Yes. You can install Windows XP on another hard drive. Note also that you
can Windows XP on machine running Windows 98, but you can not install
Windows 98 on machine running Windows XP.

You can install any OS on any machine, regardless of what's
already there. Depending on the circumstances, the installation
process could be trivial or it could be a little more demanding.

It is therefore possible to install Win98 on a machine that runs
WinXP.
