Please read carefully through the description in the Knowledgebase article I
referred you to, and then if there are any additional questions such as
whether the version of XP that you are using makes a difference there are
people in the XP newsgroups who have the appropriate experience. I have
never used XP Home, but I understand it is restricted in a number of areas.

I forgot to mention that the XP is an XP Home Edition Upgrade. Does this
make
a differance as to how I should set up my pc? I already have the 98SE on
disk
drive C. I thought I could simply put the XP on drive D. How do I proceed?
Thank you in advance.

any facility for selecting the operating system to run at startup time,

XP does. I believe that the process simply involves answering a prompt
at
the time of installing XP, when you are asked about whether or not you
want
to retain the existing operating system, and where you want to install
the
new operating system. There's some information he

How to create a multiple-boot system in Windows XP

Note that there is another option that may be more suitable. You can
install XP as your only operating system and then run Windows 98 in a
virtual machine. It will probably run a bit slower than if you booted
direct to W98, but you will not need to reboot if you want to switch from
one to the other - you simply boot XP all the time, then run W98 when you
need it, and switch between the two like you switch between any other
application. See, for instance:

I have installed 98SE on 13 GB C drive. I would like to also install XP
on
my 80GB D drive. How do I do it so that I have the option of using
either
system when I turn on my computer? I have been told other people have
more
than one OS on their pc.
