Creating a dual boot system

Is it possible for me to add another partition to my hard drive and install Windows 98 so I can choose between XP and 98 at start up without reinstalling Windows XP? If so, how? Thanks.

It's possible, but not easy. Proper dual boot installations require you install oldest first.

Partition magic will do it. And the included boot manager.
