WinXP and Win98 on the same PC

[Richard]

I have a new WinXP Pro PC with nothing but the operating
system on it. I want Win98 on the same PC.

Which approach is SIMPLEST, cleanest, no fouls, no errors:

1)Reformat the lone drive, install Win98 and then WinXP?
Will the PC automatically ask me how I want to partition
the lone drive?

2)Or, should I buy a second drive for my Win98 needs?

In both cases, how will I switch between WinXP & Win98?
