dual boot issues

I have a dell inspiron 6400 with a duo core 2 T7200 processor, 2gb of ram and  a 160gb harddrive.  I would like to partition it so that I can run Windows 98 from one partition and Windows XP media center version from the other.  Of course there is also Dell Media Direct to deal with.  Does anyone know how I can set this all up and is it even possible?

    The only way to do this would be to manually partition that drive to free up enough space on which to install 98.

     

    How about running Virutal PC form Microsoft?  It's free.

    You will never get 98 installed on its own partition, it will have no clue what the hardware is and there are no hardware drivers available for 98.

     

    Your only chance is to run VPC as suggested.
