I want to install win 98 SE

is it as simple as finding my 98 disk and putting it in and let windows do everything automatically? is there something else i ahve to do?

When dual/multi-booting Windows OSes, you need to install from oldest to newest, I believe. There are ways to get XP to play nice and allow an older OS as a boot option, though, but I don't know any. Heh.

No, 98 would overwrite xp boot sector and you'd have troube booting xp...

Use boot magic. It comes with partition magic. It automatically hides the OS's from each other.
