I installed and then uninstalled Windows XP last weekend. It is a great program but not all of my hardware would run right away so I uninstalled until I can get the proper drivers. I use the computer in my business.

Now, I was wondering if I could dual boot this machine with W98 and WinXP both on there. If so, how do you do that and at a later date, how do I uninstall W98?

Also, would it be necessary to reinstall all of my software for Win XP if I do this? Thanks for the help

If dug around MS KB for dual/multi-boot issues with windows '98 and XP, you would find:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q306/5/59.ASP

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q217/2/10.ASP

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q289/0/22.ASP

and by modifying the above info (as need-be) you get your '98/Xp system.
