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.

How many operating systems can you install on one computer?
There's no hard limit on the number of operating systems you can install. The limit will be dictated by the number of operating systems that support your hardware and the amount of space on your hard drive(s).
What is tha advantage for an operating system of using a virtual machine?
An advantage of using a virtual machine is you can run multiple operating systems under the umbrella of one operating system. Without a virtual machine you have to reboot every time you want to want to change operating systems but with a VM you can simply switch between them.
What is process migration in Operating Systems?
It is the transfer of sufficient amount of the state of process from one machine to the target machine.
What is bare machine in operating systems?

Can you install 2 operating system in one computer?
Yes, you can. You can run Linux and windows using a boot manager called grub. You can also do this on a mac. Grub allows you to run multiple systems on one machine, although it can be confusing to install for the basic user.

You can use different OS in the same machine.. Its called the Dual Boot..

How do you install Wine?
Command line install (open a terminal and type these in): su -c yum install wine (rpm-based operating systems) sudo apt-get install wine (deb-based operating systems) emerge wine (gentoo)
Different types of Microsoft operating systems?
several types of operating systems are there.
Do different types of computers have different viruses?
Different Operating Systems get infected by different viruses. You can run different operating systems on the same hardware.
Does Windows also include an older operating system?
It did in early PC's (through Windows 3.1), but later DOS was an emulation. But you can have two or more operating systems working in the same time. For that you need to use one virtual machines such as VirtualBox (free), VMWare (shareware), VirtualPC (was free). But even if you are going to use a virtual machine you have to have a license(s) for the operating systems you are going to install on the virtual machine.

How many oprating system can be installed in one machine?
The number of operating software that can be installed in a PC depends on the specifications of the computer. Generally, a computer can support up to four operating systems, depending on the amount of RAM and other hardware components. However, if the computer has a large enough hard drive, more than four operating systems may be installed. When installing multiple operating systems, it is important to ensure that each operating system is installed in a separate partition. Otherwise, the computer may experience conflicts and/or slow performance. Additionally, if you plan on using multiple operating systems, you should ensure that all of the necessary software, drivers, and updates are installed for all operating systems. If you are looking to install multiple operating systems on a computer, Microprokey .com is an excellent website. On the website, you can find a variety of operating systems, such as Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and more. Furthermore, they provide detailed instructions on how to install each operating system, as well as support and troubleshooting services. With Microprokey, you can easily install multiple operating systems on a single computer.
How do you handle the multiple operating system such as vista and ubuntu?
You have to install both operating systems to get a 'dual boot' system. I would suggest installing vista first, then installing ubuntu. Doing it the other way around will mean that the ubuntu installation will not be recognized after you install Vista, so do the Vista install first.The Ubuntu Grub loader will be able to recognize the Vista partition and should present you with a menu when you boot the machine as to which operating system you want to use.The easiest approach to this would be to install Vista on one partition and ubuntu on a different partition of your hard drive.
How do you install Unix?
The inherent problem in ing your question is that there is no single operating system known as "Unix." Unix is a specification for a large number of operating systems to meet and comply with. The installation for Solaris is different from that of AIX, which is different from that of TRU64. In order to receive a definitive , you would need to define which Unix you are trying to install.
When you install the beta version of Windows 8 does it delete your previous operating system?
It won't unless you create a partition of your previous OS. To access it try pressing different F1-F12 keys. When you find it, you will find a screen that shows all of your operating systems. You can have multiple Operating systems by using this menu!
Why do modern machines consist of multiple levels of virtual machines?
Modern machines do not consist of multiple levels of virtual machines; that is a function of the host operating system's virtual machine manager and its guest operating systems, all of which are implemented through software. The operating system's virtual machine manager exposes one or more virtual machines upon which you can host one or more guest operating systems and their applications. In order to execute compiled Java applications upon one of these guest operating systems you will also need to install the Java virtual machine for that specific operating system. Thus you end up with a Java program executing within a Java virtual machine executing within a virtual machine executing within a virtual machine manager executing upon the physical hardware. The physical hardware itself may be optimised to handle virtual machine managers more efficiently, but the virtual machine manager is a software program; it is not part of the physical machine architecture
