But my new hard drive has got Win XP which is on my Primary Master. Is there anyway I can dual boot into Win 98 because got couple programs that I would like to use that will not work under Windows XP.

Or, better, in XP go to ControlPanel -> System -> Advanced ->Startup and recovery -> Settings and then change the defualt operting system to Win 98.

This doesn't mean you always have to start in Win 98, the bootup givews you a choice, and with a bit of playing around you'll find how to modify the boot options to suit your preferences.

Boot up off your recovery CD and then type "BOOTCFG /Rebuild" (without quote marks)
