Dual Boot XP and 98

[maudman]

My buddy just got his super system with Win XP on it. He wants a dual boot to Win 98. I did it the other way around and it works fine. Can he do this without formatting?

Thanks, I didn't see any way to do it without installing 98 first. I was right.

You should be able to do it using a third party boot manager, there are plenty of freeware or evaluation ones around. All things are possible except skiing through a revolving door.
