Well if ur wanting a dual boot system, u should install Win98 first, then XP.

If u want to continue, go here for instructions on how to reconstruct ur XP bootsector:

As far as ur error message goes, is this a formatted drive ??

Hope this helps

If you had one harddrive with XP installed on it, you still can't installing Windows 98 in second partition in the same harddrive.
