What I would do is partition the hard drive the way that you want it. Then I would install Windows 98 first and then XP after that to get the ability to dual boot. Windows XP has the ability to be installed on either a FAT32 or NTFS partition. As davidmcolaco mentioned, there are programs out there that ease the process of getting this accomplished. OSloader or PartitionMagic are good programs to use.
