Specs : AMD Phenom II X4 965BE @ 3.4GHz @ Stock, 8GB DDR3 1333MHz, AMD Radeon HD 6670 DDR3, ASROCK M3N780, 1TB SATA III @ 7200RPM hard drive with multiple partitions

Got a rather complicated question.

I read that to dual-boot Windows 98 and Windows XP, you need to install Windows 98 first, then Windows XP (Read it on a Micro$oft support forum). Would it be possible for me to dual-boot windows 98 after installing XP?

Reason for asking is because I'd like to play my old favorites (Feeble Files, Daggerfall, Arena, Redguard).

I have EASEUS partition manager, so partitioning isn't an issue. I don't, however, have a floppy drive, but I do have a DVD copy of Windows 98.
 
Yes, it is possible to do it, but you do not want to. You will have serious issues finding drivers to install Win98 on new hardware. You will be better off installing Win98 into a virtual machine like VirtualBox.
