Dual Boot Help

One one computer I have Win 98 and XP, but I partitioned before I loaded Win 98 first , and then XP for a dual boot.
My other computer has Win 98 only. Now I want to add XP.
I only have one partition on it. Will XP create another partition for me without having to fdisk so I can install XP as a dual boot? I don't want to have to fdisk and format the entire disk, just add XP

Just install Windows XP to a new partition or whatever partition you have already as drive D:\ just make sure its two separate drives.

I don't want to add a 2nd hard drive. I just want to create another partition for XP and wondered if XP will do it automatically.

No you have to use a program like partition magic or create your own to make another partition.
*edit*
the new partition will act as another drive.
