Yes, you can.
So, if you have XP, and then want to partition a slot for 98.
Insert drive, etc. Then when it asks you to delete, add, or repair, you're going to add another slot.
Very easy to do. But having 98 is like having a virus.
Ugh.
*shudders*
Make sure you have Xp installed first.
Then after set-up, you can have a dual boot opening to choose. With external drives, this is much easier, and less risky to do.
