I am trying to install a 2nd HD and Win 98 on a system with a much larger HD and Win XP Pro.
I dont care if they dont talk to eachother...I just need to be able to dual boot so I can use Win 98 or Win XP depending on my mood.
ANyone know what to do?

I can't help, sorry.
I'm sure Hardware will be able to though, so if he doesn't reply in a day or so I'll call him and ask him to reply.

A friend of mine did exactly that, but it required some extra hardware. He wasn't sure about mucking around with dual-boot, but wanted his fine machine able to run old games too. He put in a cut-out switch in the HDD power cables. Turned one way only the bigger drive with XP functions, the other way only the drive with 98 works. Obviously you have to shut down the machine before making the switch.
So the guy likes solutions like that, OK? He's the same guy who installed a burglar alarm in his writing desk drawers...

Well... 
An infrequent poster here named Tengu has the same set up (ME or 98SE on one, W2K on the other) but can switch between the two without shutting down.
