Yes you can do it with Win98 Start up disk.
First you delete the active partition, NTFS.
Then create a new partition and format to FAT32
Then you can reinstall XP with the XP Disk. Delete the active partition,
FAT32. Create a new partition, format NTFS and let XP Install.
Just did it that way to see if you could and you can.
Cheers
