I bet utilities like System Commander handle multi-OS booting like this no problem. It can be done with NT and W2K, I don't see why it shouldn't work with XP.
But it's true that installing Win98 after XP might be a bit of a problem. Other way round should be much easier.
I forgot my sig.

Status : Online | I bought a program called Partition Magic and divided my hard drive into 2 partitions. Plan on running into problems with your newer components (my mouse, speakers, and monitor are "too new" to run on Win 9. You might want to download some Win98 compatible drivers before you partition and install your new OS. Good luck!!
