If you made Win98 the first drive and then did a repair install of Windows
XP on the 2nd drive, that might be the easiest approach.

Since this would change the drive letter of Windows XP, I'm not sure how
that would work out for other applications installed on the XP side.

No, Win98 does not see the WinXP drive.

I have been going to BIOS & having it boot from the drive of the OS I need
to use. I know there is an line that is added to WinXP boot menu that allows
Win98 to boot. Would it better for me to have the Win98 drive designated as
drive 0 & the WinXP to drive 1??
