The most important thing you have to remember is that there must be at least 2 partitions, one for Windows 95/98/ME and another one for Windows XP. Windows 95/98/ME MUST be installed first THEN you install Windows XP. Create 2 partitions, the first partition should be formatted to FAT16 or FAT32 and Windows 95/98/ME should be installed first. Then you boot your computer with Windows XP disk and format the 2nd partition using NTFS format and install windows XP. Remember, one OS per partition. In your case, one partition per drive.
