Just remember:

Basic rule #1:  Win9x (and DOS) cannot read NTFS; NT4 cannot read FAT32;
Windows (and DOS) versions before Win95B cannot read FAT32; all can read
FAT(16).

Basic rule #2:  Since NT4 cannot read FAT32, it cannot boot from a FAT32
partition.

Boot managers can steer around a FAT32 C: partition by using multiple
primary partitions, but the most common way to dual boot Win9x and NT4 is by
making the C: partition FAT16.  Then Win9x can either be installed into the
same C: partition, or into its own (FAT16 or FAT32) partition; NT4 can be
installed into the C: partition or into its own (FAT16 or NTFS) partition.

If all partitions are FAT16, then all files can be shared between the two
operating systems.  Files that are not to be shared can be put into either a
FAT32 or an NTFS partition, as appropriate.  There is a third-party program
available that will allow NT4 to read (for free) or read/write (for a fee)
FAT32 partitions.  I believe it is FAT32.EXE at www.sysinternals.com; I have
not tried it.

NT can only boot from fat16 or ntfs

If your win98 is fat32 it wont work.
