get partition magic or a similar program, partition your drive, leave win98se where it is, then run the win2k installation it will automatically detect the win98 installation and set up appropriatly.
No you won't NEED to put win2k on another drive... however it is recommended that you put the 2 OS's on different partitions... you don't have to, it will still work if they are on the same partition...
Win2k will work if installed on the same partition. However, things will get messy because both OS will share the Program Files directory. Most likely any apps you installed in 98 will also have to be installed in 2k, meaning you'll have 2 copies of everything. Some exceptions, try the executables first to see if they'll run without registry entries in 2k.
One more thing. If win98 and win2000 reside in the same partition, a lot of advanced features in 2000 wont work. You need to have the partition formated in NTFS in order to use the features. And I am a big fan of the NTFS 5.0 file structure. Very secure and stable. Much improved over FAT 32 or the older NTFS system.
