During the first part of the setup, it will ask if you want to upgrade or do a separate install. You select separate. Later, when the computer reboots into the text mode install phase, it will give you options of leaving the file system as is or converting to NTFS. It will also give you options of installing on existing partition or creating an additional one.

After install is complete, you will get the OS loader screen when starting the computer which will give you a choice of OS's to run.

It is recommended that you have a seperate drive/partition for XP.

There are many problems associated with having 2 version sof Windows on the same drive.

You will also need to install all applications in both 98 and XP.

If you boot into Windows98, and insert the XP CD in the drive, the install wizzard will walk you through a dual boot install.
I would choose custom at each option, and make sure that you select the alternate drive to install XP to.
