I'm almost positive this process would work for XP and 98 as well,

The suggestion by HiredGoonz will probably work.

However, I would not run a multiple OS system without using Partition Magic, which includes a Utility called Boot Magic. I am told that System Commander is also a good product for this purpose.

I have used Partition Magic for 10 or more years. It is a wonderfull product. I use it on systems which only have one OS because I use multiple partitions to keep my data better organized. I often create new ones or resize existing partitions.
