Basically, you need to have at least two partitions on your hard drive (or two hard drives), and install the differed operating systems on the different partitions. Here are some guides:

Post back if you run into any trouble

Do a search here on the forums and you should find tons of information in this topic. I have done it with win98 and win2k and redhat on one drive. I partitioned the drive into two drives and I believe that you have to install win98 first to the first partition and then XP to the second partition because it has a boot loader. When you machine boots you will be prompted by the boot loader to choose which OS you want to load

Make two partitions, Install Windows98 on one first, then install Windows XP on the second, it will automatically configure the boot loader.
