Is it possible to dual boot Windows 98 from a USB hard drive? I am running Windows XP Pro as my primary system. Thank you,

All depends on the system Bios. Not all allow booting from usb devices. If it does then set the usb to boot before your systems hard drive and it should boot first when hooked up.

How do I find out if the bios allows USB boots?

Quite simple actually.

Restart the pc and look for a message on the screen during the initial bootup for something like f2 or del to enter setup. Press that key.

Then look for boot menu and in the list look for a usb option.
