Is it possible to set up a dual boot with Win XP pro on one drive and Win 98 on another?

I currently have a dual boot on my 120Gb HD and a 40Gb as a slave. I would like to have Xp and my data partition on the 120 and Win98 on the 40gb, but have the choice at bootup to go into either OS
 
yes, you can do that....just install 98 first, and then install XP on your other drive. XP setup will take care of the bootloader.

if you want 98 to be able to access your data, be sure that the XP partition is FAT32 instead of NTFS.
 
Right. Make sure you install 98 before you install XP and everything should work ok. :)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
