If the C drive is NTFS you will need a third party boot manager to
accomplish this.

What I'd do is get a partitioning program, make a fat 32 primary partition,
install W98 to it and then use a boot manager to select which OS will start
at boot. 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.
