Get a boot manager so you can select which program will start at boot and
partitioning program so you can create separate primary partitions for each
system to be installed to. I use:

BootIt Next Generation is available from: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/
and it does partitioning, makes a compressed image, does many other
partitioning chores and is a boot manager. It is not quite as easy to use
as Partition Magic but it is half the cost and has more features. Unlike
the crippled PMagic demo, BING is a *full function* demo you can try for
FREE for 30 days. The web site has a lot of support articles.

I'm trying to "Dual Boot" using an older version of Win98 and a "newer"
version. I also have XP that I wish to install, along with the two
versions of 98, but I might not.
What is the best way to install each of these OS's and not have to have
a boot loader at startup? I know that when I install XP, it will
automatically install the boot loader, but I'd like to bypass that also.
Any help will be most appreciated.
