Can you tell us what is your exact problem? If it's that it's impossible
to install XP on a logical partition, I do not think grub can do
anything about this. You'll simply have to somehow arrange a primary
partition for it. I think you should be able to make your Win98 one this
primary partition. Try to make it the active one before you boot off the
XP CD. You'll then have a too-stage boot for XP - first choose from grub
your win98, then get an NTLDR menu, choose XP. It's quite a long time
since I played with booting NT, and it was on NT4, but I do not think it
changed much.

Good luck,
