PCWorks: FAT 32

Being bootable makes no difference at all. I say this from
extensive 
experience.
Set your XP disk as master and your 98 disk as slave and
you'll be able 
to see the files.
You can edit the boot.ini file by hand, or use XP's fixboot
command if 
you have problems in this configuration.
