Make sure the first partition is FAT32, and leave the second partition blank, install Windows 98, it will default on the FAT32 partition, once done, install XP and choose your second partition as the default location.
Its not that difficult.

Well first of all you will need to delete any portions that are already on, you will require a win98 start up disk.
turn off your Pc and insert the disk into drive A:\
at the A prompt type FDISK, this will bring up the dialog box delete any partitions you have there. then go back to you a prompt and type C:\ format this will format the HD once this stage is complete return to FDISK and reinstall your partitions one Primary and one other ok your all set to install windows XP as your primary and 98 as your other drive. You may also be interested in the system I use myself. it is called HYPEROS I have used it for some time now. What this program does is it allows you to split up a large HD into smaller sections by using Part ion magic. Once you have done this you can then put up to 10 different OS on your PC and move from one to the other with out turning your PC off. You do not even have to format a drive ever again go to WWW.HYPEROS.com for more details you will be well impressed.

You can go for clean setup, mean format whole disk and create partition. But it seems you are newbie.
Or else, there is program called partition manager. load the program and use the program to create the partition. Take care it is more technical.
Why want a partition, when you can do it with a folder. Think it over.

hi, a twin midsection isn't mandatory. I unquestionably have it put in on my netbook - unmarried midsection. Take each thing you want to save and decrease back it up in case you have not already. make confident you backup each thing. once you run the domicile windows 7 deploy you receives a field which will teach you your modern demanding drives connected contained in the shape of a few thing lile demanding force 0: Partition length 40gb demanding force 0: Partition length 60gb click Delete partition on both then reformat as one force. that's what it truly is besides. yet in my view and that's in simple terms own opinion it truly is continuously better perfect to sepearate your operating device and your information that way in case you operating device crashes or corrupts you are able to take the demanding force out and nevertheless get entry on your different partition - commonly D: force. So no it wont merge itself - even though it truly is elementary and easy to do :)

Here is one tip from me: Install Windows 98 first and then install Windows XP else 98 being older than XP will mess everything up.
