risky. Save your data first.
Win98 cannot recognize the W2k entry in the master boot record. So it overwrites it during your re-install. You can use the Repair option in the setup of W2k to correct this. Look for the command fixmbr.

looks somewhat pricey at first glance, but possibly able to improve performance significantly as you can have a bunch of specialized virtual machines with a lean Windows installation on each one.
You can freeze one system and instantly switch to over to another, or even let the background one continue.
I used it on Mac for years, it's worth a try.
