Dual Boot System

Would it be possible for me to set up a dual boot system, Windows 98 and XP, without reformating my hard drive? I already have XP installed and I wanted to play some older games that don't run in XP.

You just need to get a third party boot manager.

Probably better to try a partition manager and a boot manager.
I use partition magic and the included boot manager.

If you had put it together the other way first the OS would have given you the choice of the OS to use.
