Windows 98 is doesn't support ntfs partition only fat 16(for win 95) anf fat 32.Ntfs is only for win 2000 and win xp.You need to use Partition Magic(any version to convert your partition.

Dear friend,
The best way to install Windows 98 on NTFS, is to use Microsoft Virtual Machine software. In such way under WinXP you can install Win98, Win95, Linux and whatever you can imagine.

Windows 98 will not install on NTFS, it only understands and knows the FAT file system.

98 will not install on NTFS. Its a FAT file system. You need to repartition your disk to allow 98 to install. That will effect your existing XP.

it can be done but its difficult and involves mounting a FAT formatted volume in a folder on the ntfs drive - more trouble than its worth
get a 2nd hdd or a usb hdd and install to that
