Hi..
You can safely instal Win 98/95 or any other OS even if u have already installed
Linux. The only prerequisite is that there must be some space left on ur HDD. If u
have some space left (u can check it out using fdisk from within Linux.) u can
definitely install the same without affecting ur data in linux. But if whole space is
dedicated to linux, then either u need to remove linux and install both linux and
windows again after creating proper partitions or u can opt for having another disk
where u can install win98/95 or the like without affecting ur data.
see if u have any of these conditions there.
but what i understand from ur mail that u have only 1 partition dedicated to linux. so
u need to install the oses again. u can install the OSes in any order if u do the
things carefully. Other wise its better to install Windows n then linux.
u can also see the following link..

this is a sorta manual type of thing to prepare a multibooting system.
best of luck.
regards,
Abu.
