Two Operating Systems

Can you have two operating systems on one hard drive? Can it be Windows XP and Windows 95/98? Can it be the same format? NTFS is what I have now. I have two 40GB hard drives. Would that help?...

The best thing to do is have separate partitions for each OS.
Like Alec said, install 95/98 first (after partitioning and formatting the drive;)) and then installing 2k/XP.

Is there any free partitioner program out there or is there one on XP. If so let me know. Thanks again.
