What do I need to do to set my system up for dual boot? Win 2k and Win 98.

win98 does not support dual boot, and I believe there are some options in win2k to do that, you will have to change it in the bios as well..

I am not sure of the whole procedure but , Start by installoing win98 with newest drivers. then install win2k on it's own partition.
I know that much for positive. their are many guides around. here is the first i was able to find: http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/windowstips/jump/0,24331,3338939,00.html

Make 2 partitions then install 98 then 2k.

Yep that's the way. 2000 will create a dual boot environment automatically when it detects 98. Just make sure you install 98 first.

That's exactly how it worked for me!

Actually, I would recommend using different HDDs to be safer.
