Your BIOS will be able to seperate the two if you set them properly. I would suggest you use the HD with XP be the Master and set BIOS to recognize HDD-0 first and let the one with Win98 be the slave and set it for HDD-1. Once there, it will boot however you set them in Bios. I ran two different versions of 98 on two HDs and would just switch them in the BIOS to whichever one I wanted to boot up.
