I meant that if you were to eventually get another PC you'd then be able to have XP on one PC and win98 on the other PC (no need to swap hard drives around anymore) and ther would be no need for re-installs. Obviously there'd be an initial hardware detection when you first install the HD in the 2nd different PC but there'd be no messing about trying to make the dual boot system of drives o/s's back into independent bootable drives and all your data/apps are there ready.
Obviously it all falls down if you are needing to use the same data across both o/s (unless you network the PCs).
