The easiest way to go about this is to install Windows 98 first and then Windows XP. Remember to install Windows XP last since Windows XP will handle the dual boot for you. I've tried Windows 98/Windows XP & Windows 2000/Windows XP. Worked everytime... taurus

http://www.computing.net/windows2000/wwwboard/forum/21665.html Post #5 details it from start to finish for '98/W2K. Replace W2K with XP and you have it all; basics upwards; single dual/drives - without any add-in utils. There are other ways to too; but the route there is easy to follow - and it's all explained.
