The code 0x0000007B means that the system has detected an "inaccessible boot device", that is because you might be trying to dual boot xp with 98. Try reformatting the xp partition with FAT file system because if you try to install windows on an NTFS partition it will not dual boot with 98 as it cannot read the Fat File System on the master boot record on the C:\ drive

Hi,
I must comment previous answer: you can use a dual boot system with FAT16/32 on one partition and NTFS on other. The only problem is that from FAT12/32 you cant access the NTFS partition.
How do you tried to install WinXP? On the same partition with Win98 or you used fdisk to clean the HDD and then you tried a fresh install?
Generaly when you want two OS, you must install these on different partitions and begin with the oldest.

You can try to boot with a system diskette (with fdisk on it).
Run fdisk and delete logical drive D: and then extended partition.
Boot from WinXP CD (a bootable CD) and follow the wizard (create the partition D: and install WinP on it).
Differentboot sequence (from diskette, CD-ROM or HDD) can be changed from BIOS options.
If you don't have a bootable CD use a set of diskettes from: www.bootdisk.com
