The microsoft best practices is to load win98 first the load XP. If you use the full version of XP (and I suggest you use pro, alot more for the money) it will tell you it cna load a fresh copy on a drive and all you will have to do is tell it where. there are also several utilities out there, System Commander being the first to mind that will manage your dual boot for you (and allow you more flexability in the sequence of loading). hope this helps
