I would suggest trying Windows XP's Program Compatibility
Wizard with your Windows 98 applications. Otherwise, you're
likely faced with performing a "clean install" of Windows XP.

Hi

You will need to create a separate partition. A 3rd party program like
Acronis PartitionExpert along with the Boot Manager will help you:

Dual booting can be done and easily, however it has to be done in the proper
order
98 is usually installed first, then xp.
Whet you might consider is this, get a second hd and install 98 on that,
keeping
your original OS as it is, you will need boot magic to see the second
operationg system.
