Dual booting with 98 and 2K

I have two 15.3 Gb hdd's on one machine. Is there any reason I can't format the second hdd NTFS and dual boot with Win98se?

if you are already running 98 then i would format the second one and run 98 and install 2000 and direct it to the 2 HD

No there isn't any reason you couldn't dual boot. Boot from the CD. You should be able to format with NTFS from setup. You may want to keep your documents on the C: drive because both OSes can read FAT32.

Only thing now is to figure out how to backup the data of my Geneology program. I'd hate to think that I'd have to start over on all that stuff! Thanks for the replies.
