If you have a Win 98 CD then yes, you can use FDISK to remove the Non-dos partition when XP is installed.
Alternatively, you can boot from the XP CD and remove it during Setup stages to delete the partition.

You can use a Special Fdisk (free tool), or any other partition amangement tool like ranish partition manager, they are supporting NTFS partitions
