How do you install two hard drives with two different operating systems XP and 98 in one machine for dual bootup?

its quite easy actually...always install the earliest OS first...in your case, install 98 on whatever drive you wish and after it is complete...install xp on the other. during boot, you will be given the option to boot what ever OS you wish. I tried your sugestion, loaded 98 first on the first drive, xp on the second drive...it does not work, only boots into 98 XP should be loaded with both of the drives connected. After loading 98, do not make any hardware changes. Just go and load XP onto the second drive. XP will create some files on the 98 drive that will bring up an OS menu at boot time allowing you to choose the OS of your choice. It will only show for about 30 seconds. Maybe you just weren't at the computer when it displayed. The amount of time that the OS selection menu appears, and the OS that the system defaults to can be customized to boot into Win98 or WinXP if no action is taken by the user. You could configure a computer to allow it to boot into Win98, WinME, Win2000, and WinXP, if you wanted to. You could also have it boot to three different Win2000 installations if you wanted to. A few tips to follow. Always install the older operating system first (i.e. Win98, then Win2000, and then WinXP.) Don't change drive letters after installing. Changing major hardware components will likely require reinstalling everything all over again. So, keep your motherboard the same. Changing a motherboard prevents the operating systems from booting because they don't have the drivers for the new hardware, and therefore, can't utilize them.
