Go get the best (free) multi-boot manager at www.xosl.org
Install it via ME.
Unplug the drive that has ME on it.
Make the other drive primary master.
Fdisk, MAKE ACTIVE the partition, and format the drive.
Install windows 98.
Plug the drives back in so it boots to ME.
Adjust the settings the way you want in XOSL.
