Default How to install WIN 98 after XP

On my notebook i have installed WIN XPSP2 on partotion C(NTFS). Then I have
created partition E on the same hard disk(D is CD drive), and format it to
FAT32 situable for instalation of WIN 98.
The problem for me is how to install WIN 98 to E drive, without deleting WIN
XP, and with boot menu to choose which operating system want to use. I need
to install WIN 98 for diagnostic software of some old devices that won´t work
on WIN XP.
I was thinking to solve this problem in next steps:
- create an image of operating system(image of WIN XP) on NTFS file
systemwith some backup and image creating software
- format C partition to FAT 32 file system
- install first WIN 98 on C partition
- restore image of WIN XP (which is created in NTFS) to E drive which is on
FAT 32
Is it possible to do it, and will the image of WIN XP work on FAT 32 system?
The crucial thing is to maintain the WIN XP on it original state because of
many software installed on it.
Can you please help me to solve this problem with some suggestions?
I would be thankful

XP will run on FAT32 just fine but your problem in doing the above is the
change of the XP from C: to E: I won't say it can't be done because I don't
know but if even if possible it would be a huge PITA.

To have a dual boot system as you want one generally installs Win98 first on
C: then XP to whatever.

You might check out VM (virtual machine) soft for running Win98 as VM.

The MS KB recommends installing in the reverse order (earliest OS first).
This way, during the XP instal routine, you can elect to instal a Boot
Manager that presents at startup a menu offering either XP or any other
OS already present.

But your installing XP on an NTFS drive (which MS-DOS cannot read)
suggests that you can instal Win98 in the normal way, because DOS
will see your current E: as drive C: and format it FAT32 for installation.

However it would be prudent for you to instal a boot manager first,
capable of sensing the two OSs and offering you the choice. No
boot manager is part of the Win98 instal process. If you have a
floppy drive, you could start Win98 by booting from an MS-DOS
floppy with an AUTOEXEC.BAT file written to start Win98 from
its appropriate hard drive (which DOS will see as C
