Dual Booting XP & 98SE

[Guest]

I have an evaluation copy of WinXP. I am trying to load it on my F drive and leave 98 on my C drive. When I insert the WinXP disk (within 98 and booting to it), it starts the installation, but it doesn't ask where to install it, it only mentions upgrading.
Given that I am only trying this out, I am extremly hesitant to let this overwrite my C drive.
At what point does it ask for the installation location?
Thanks

That's one of the 'advanced' options. Stick your XP disk in when booted into 98. Go through the steps. Somewhere in the steps you'll see a button labeled 'advanced options' or something like that. There should be a tick box that says something like 'ask me what partition to install on'. Also, before that, be sure to choose 'clean install' and not 'upgrade install'. I don't remember where everything was or what it was called, but that should give you a good start. Just be sure to look everywhere for settings and basically don't go with the default settings. Hope this helps.
