Your best chance of a good installation is to fdisk and format both drives and start 
fresh. Installations over 98 or ME are troublesome (to be kind). Create a  boot disk 
from your WIN98 if you don't have one. Back up all personal documents that you want 
or need to save. 
Boot from your boot disk. Fdisk & Format D: and C:
Set your boot to boot from your CD before C: and boot from your XP Disc. 
Be SURE your have your old 98 Disc, XP disc and all the program discs that you need 
to reinstall. You can find many posts dealing with this problem. You may also get 
more input. Good luck and review http://www.blackviper.com for a lot of good things 
to do and NOT to do.
