DON'T HAVE CHOICE BETWEEN 98 & XP AT BOOTUP. I KNOW THE
FIX IS SIMPLE ( READ IT SOMEWHERE,I SEEM TO REMEMBER
SOMETHING ABOUT EDITING THE " BOOTINI" FILE). I HAVE MY HD
PARTIONED C,D,E ; 98 IS C, XP PRO IS D,E IS RESERVED.

in WIn98 run setup.exe for XP - chooose NEW as type of install
after XP setup re-boots you will get a menu asking if you want to install or
repair
Choose Install
setup will scan your hard drives and find XP on D - at that point choose
Repair

First of all, please unstick your CapsLock key. Posting in all
caps, as you have done, is the Usenet equivalent of shouting, and is
considered very rude by many people. More importantly, posting in all
caps makes the post very hard to read, further reducing your chances
of getting help.

MS-MVP Doug Knox has kindly provided clear instructions:

Install Windows 98 after XP is Installed.
