Didn't see the original poster but will reply here ... The following
web link points towards a site I found ages ago with a method of
retrofitting Win98se to a WinXP setup. It's a little hairy so I
haven't done it on my machine yet ...

I've not tested it myself so I can't vouch for how reliable it is -
planning to test it on a bare install onto another PC as a guinea pig
test ...
Good luck and I hope the Doug Knox link is useful :-) Might be
difficult with the first disc being NTFS. Might need a 3rd party boot
loader ...
