Consider buying another hard drive to have XP on and use Windows 98 on your
primary hard drive and 98 gets installed first and XP next on the appropriate
second hard drive. I would use Fat32 file system for Windows 98 Second
Edition and NTFS file system for XP. Windows 98 Second Edition will not see
XP and that is good. Windows XP will see Windows 98 Second Edition but do
not touch Windows 98 Second Edition with Windows XP because you could mess it
up and only make any changes to Windows 98 Second Edition from within Windows
XP Professional when you have a problem with Windows 98 SE. This is the way
I roll it at least on my multi-boot computer.

I have W-98 in my secondary PC. However, W-98 does not support recent jump
(pen) drives, thus I am plannig upgrade to Wxp. Have boxed Wxp upgrade
version but instructions indicate that the upgrade will "replace" previous
OS. I have several important W-98 program that will like to keep, but
they will not work properly under Wxp. Thus, will like to keep W-98 as an
alternative OS. Q: How can I installe Wxp and keep W-98 to be used when
needed??
