I'm assuming that you have XP installed and you want to run Win98. Put a dos boot disk in your floppy drive and boot to dos. Run win98 setup (if you can't run it off a CD then copy it to a new folder on your hard drive and repeat the previous step. Install Win98 to its own new unique named folder, different from /windows. After setup is complete reboot and continue into xp. In xp right click on my computer/properties/advanced/startup and recovery settings, then check mark 'time to display list of operating systems'. When you reboot this time you will be presented with an option to run either XP or 98. You cannot install Win98 to an NTSF hard drive partition afaik.
