"Partition fun"

Ok chaps, here's the deal :

I currently run a PC with 2 hard drives on it, XP pro is installed on C:. I have quite a few old games that refuse to work with XP, due to the file system, so I was considering installing an older version of windows (98 probably), either on the D: drive, or in a second partition I create on the C: drive.

What I'd then like to do, is have a funky menu come up each time I boot to ask me which O/S I'd like. What is the most simple way to do this?

By the way, windows 98 and these games aren't going to take up that much space, so I'm not going to waste my whole 20 gig D: drive on it, so if I plan to use that, it will need partitioning aswell.

Suggestions?

thanks

I'm sure that XP allows you ti install another operatin system and gives you a menu screen to choose which one you want at boot up, my dad had his system set up like that for a while, but I don't know how he did it.
