Adding a Windows 98 partition to a Win2k box

Our computer currently runs Win2k Pro SP4.

I want to add an additional hard drive which will be dedicated to running
Windows 98. I plan on disconnecting the current drive and then making the
2nd one a master on the secondary IDE, and then installing 98. Then
reconnect my Win2k drive.

What else will I need to do to create dual-boot situation?

you'd need a 3rd party boot manager if you do it that way...
this may be a better option:

btw: though the link is for XP...the procedure for win2k would be the same
