    Create at least two separate partitions: one for 98, one for XP, and maybe more for apps, data, or whatever. Install Windows 98 on the first partition. After installing 98, Install XP on the second partition -- it'll automatically set up a dual boot for you.

    As far as the OS is concerned, the array is one physical drive. You'll set up the array before installing the OS. Once the array is configured, treat it as a single drive. Use FDISK to create multiple partitions, then install 98 on the first partition and XP on the second.
