I just installed XP, it was pretty painless. Though one
thing, I have 4 logical drives and the install decided
to place the system on drive E. I wanted to install over
Win98 which was on drive C. So now it looks like I have
two operating systems on my PC. What is the easiest way to
resolve this problem?
Thanks.

Start over, but first remove the XP installation. See the link below for
steps to remove XP and leave 98.
After you remove XP, boot to Win 98 and insert the XP CD and choose install.
When asked, choose to upgrade, this will upgrade your current 98.
Be sure you have everything you don't want to lose backed up and I suggest
going through the same preparation as you would for a clean install.

Remove a dual boot.
