Hi

Just  my 2 cents, I would instead of using one hard drive for both 
windows versions, I would get a second drive and use it for the second 
windows version. I myself dual boot and have been for years, as problems 
always arise with windows or most any other os, it's a good idea to use 
a second drive. So that way if something goes amiss with one then at 
least you can still boot to the other drive. That would give you options 
on repairing the other or backing up and replacing/reformatting.

Again my 2 cents

Is it possible to partition a new hard drive
so that it can dual boot between WinXP and
Win98SE?  I need Win98SE to run an
Intel video capture card for which there is
no WinXP driver.

Perhaps there are instructions on the Internet
on how to do this although I haven't been
able to find it.

Thanks in advance for any pointers on how
to do this.
