Yes you can use partition Magic. I would have windows 98 loaded first then xp. I have my desktop dual booted with win98 and xp. I used partition magic. I loaded win98 first loaded partiion magic and created empty space on my hdd. Then installedwinxp in the unused space and works fine. I don't know if having xp loaded first then win98 will cause any problems you can give it a shot.

Use Partition Magic to set up a FAT 32 partition for 98.

Back up the files in the root folder of the XP partition.

Install 98 to the FAT32 partition.

Edit boot.ini in the XP partition to allow dual boot to 98.
For commands and sysntax, go to the dual boot section of www.systeminternals.com
or, search Microsoft for boot.ini and bootcfg

Did you try to run that program under win98 compatability mode in XP? Right click the program icon and go to compatibility and choose run in win98 mode.
