Dual boot WinXP?
Is it possible to dual boot with WinXP like you could with Win2000?
Need to run win95/98 again for a certain application and it would be nice if WinXP supported this function.
ON Win2000 it used to work like this.
Install win95/98
Install Win2000 and it asks you if you want to keep the win95/98 installation. Answer yes and it will sort out the dual boot menu.
Please tell me WinXp can do this too?

Yes, it does
XP's essentially 2000 with pretty bits (in fact, windows 2000 was Windows NT 5.0, and XP is Windows NT 5.1
)
However, my experience with triple booting XP, 2000 and 98 wasn't great
But you can just have 98 and XP co-existing. 98 will need to be installed on a FAT/FAT32 partition - don't let XP convert the partition that 98's boot files will be on to NTFS.
