Hi Dorothy,

Yes, but if the WinXP system on C is using the NTFS file system you will
also need to use Boot magic (comes with PM) as a boot manager, since Win98
cannot boot from an NTFS drive. Follow their instructions on how to set this
up.

Not without a lot of hassle. It can be done but it requires registry
tweaking and is not for the faint hearted. You can find more details here

In the main list look for Install 98/Me After XP is installed.
