well of course you can
dual boot is fairly simple usually
1 I assume you are using XP home and whether it has the
same setup as pro i don't know!
when you boot from the cd you should get a select option
after it has loaded the files under the inital blue
screen it then gives you the option of where to put your
install obviously don't choose where your 98 install is.
Don't install in win 98 either its probably why you are
finding it difficult

here is my problem. i have to 2 harddrives installed on
cpu. the first one is set as prim. master with win98 on
it. the 2nd one is set as prim slave with xp hom on it.
i
am able to boot up to anyone of these o/s by changing
the
boot sequence.when i am in win98 and go to my computer
it
shows it as c drive. the other drive is d, but when i
right click d there is nothing there. when i go into xp
and go to my computer it shows xp as c drive and the
other
drive (98) as f drive and says it is there. what i want
to
do is have a dual boot set up. i was told win 98 had to
be
primary (which it is). then install xp. in order to in
stall xp i would have to do a full install which would
format drive. tried this but it formatted my win98 drive
as it is drive c. had to disconnect ribbon cable from
slave drive to reinstall 98. now i am back to original
setup. can i set up a dual boot or not. should i stay
they
way i am, and just change boot sequence when i want to
use
either or o/s. thanks

my system came with xp home already installed. it has its
own partition. i cannot rember when i did a clean install
whether or not it gave me the option of what drive to
select. but will try again and see if it does. thanks
