Need to re-install XP on 98SE for dual boot

I am between a rock and a hard place. I need to install XP Home on my system.
I have a system running 98SE.
About 4-5 years ago I installed XP in a dual boot.
I could not run some of my favorite programs, so I uninstalled XP.
I now need, desperately, to reinstall XP.
My original dual boot configuration was 98SE on Drive C: (C: partitioned = C: F: G: H
XP was on Drive E: (E: partitioned = E: L: M: N I also have an old drive DD:I:J:K

When I begin to install XP I can tell it where to install.

It appears that the original XP boot "area" is intact. The partition is 20GB but I can not copy files to approx. 8GB of that partition.

Will it really let me do this and can I install on Drive E: without difficulty?

A heart felt THANK YOU to any and all who can contribute to my needs.
