Make one with the Fat32ebd.exe file located on the W98 CD:
tools/mtsutil/fat32ebd

There is a way to dual boot XP and W98 using the boot manager in XP;
however, it is a process that often gets broken. I suggest you get a
third party boot manager--here's what I use:

BootIt Next Generation is available from:
http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/ and it does partitioning, makes a
compressed image, does many other partitioning chores and is a boot
manager. It is not quite as easy to use as Partition Magic but it is
less than half the cost and has more features. Unlike the crippled
PMagic demo, BING is a *full function* demo you can try for free for 30
days. The web site has a lot of support articles.
