Hugh:
The XP disk is formatted FAT 16 and when it is
the bootted operating system, the 98 FAT 32 disk is
not seen or accessable at all...
I have no doubt that if the XP disk was also formatted
FAT 32, the 98 disk would be accessable. I am not
sure that this is true if the XP disk was formatted NTFS.
