Re: Can I run XPH on one disk and Win 98SE on another?
Most newer systems have an option to boot from HDD-0, HDD-1, HDD-2 and HDD-3, this covering all 4 IDE connection points, the probem is not booting, it's installing Windows 98 on any other drive but your Primary Master(IDE/HDD 0).

If for the sake of argument you have installed Win98 on a drive when it was primary master, then swapped it to be, say, secondary slave, then as long as the boot sequence in BIOS is changed to IDE/HDD 3 your computer should still boot from it.
