Actually, Windows XP doesn't really support that.  The best method is to
create a boot disk and hope that it will work.

I don't remember offhand how to do it in Win98, but I think one way to do
it is to head to the control panel, open 'Add/Remove programs', and select
the "Startup Disk" tab. (It's been a while - I think it's correct, but I'm
not too sure.)   For WinXP, The option to create a startup disk should be
attached to the Format command.
