Are you using a SATA drive or IDE? if SATA you need to load drivers at the point where it asks you to 'Press F6 to load RAID drivers'.

Partitioning under W98 shouldn't make a diff, but no harm in repartitioning/formatting on the XP load.

I would try stripping it down to 1 mem strip, HD, CD, Floppy and GFX. See how you get on with minimal config.
