I'd like to add 98:SE as a dual boot with XP

Right now I've got Windows XP set up on my comp but I have trouble with some older games and I'd like to add 98 as well. How should I go about this? I'd rather not obliterate XP in the process if at all possible. I've got plenty of hdd space and partition magic 7 and of course 98SE.

Microsoft says to install 98 then xp for dual booting. If you don't some files from the 98 install will over write some win-xp boot files and you will have problems....

Zaney123 way might work for you so try it first. It will save you doing a fresh install....
