installing another operating system on a computer that comes with Windows XP

If I buy a new computer that comes with
Windows XP Home Edition, is it possible to
install a previous Windows version,
e.g., 98 or ME (and a dual boot system),
so that I would have two operating
systems on the computer?

(All the articles I see on the Internet
seem to focus either on installing BOTH
operating systems (XP and another) onto a
computer, or installing XP onto a computer
that already has an earlier version of
Windows.)

Thank you, Tom.
 
Hi Tom,

Please see this from MVP Doug Knox:

And yes, it is possible to do this, but only under certain conditions.
Otherwise, you will need a boot manager.
