Thanks, I'm just paranoid that if i just install XP, that i will have some problems getting some software and hardware to work properly. And w/out Win 98 i would have nothing to fall back on.

Ya, I did the same thing but to be honest I hardly ever even boot into 98 .....

You don't have to use FDISK, I use a little partition manager that saves the data on your HDD, no need to loose it all!

It also has manages multi-boot!!!

a better program than fdisk is partition magic 7, it is truly perfect for that, and it has wizards to help too.
