provides a good guide on a fresh system setup to double boot.

Basically, XP takes care of the double booting (described in part 7).

this is helpful too:

Apart from dual booting, there is a built-in function to "simulate" win 98/95 in the higher versions windows. refer to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expe ... uary18.asp

You have to run the utility and set pointers to all your games and applications that need Win 98 (are not upgraded for Win 2k/Me/XP). That point onwards the games are cheated into believing that the OS is Win 98/95.

I used it only once as an experiment, and it worked. You can find particulars by referring to Windows help.
