Welcome to TechSpot!.

Are you talking about 2 PC's or 1 PC with dual boot (W98 + XP)?
If 1 PC, then you should know that W98 cannot access XP when XP runs with the NTFS filesystem.

If you have 2 PCs connected via a network, then the W98 PC can access XP.

Please take a few minutes and fill out the specs of your PC('s) in your user-profile (just click on "user-cp" at the top of this page).

Then explain in more detail what exactly the problem is.

Access the drive via the hidden administrative shares of C$ for your C Drive and X$ for any other drives. You'll have to use the administrator account and password though. You're map will look something like:
\\%Machine Name%\C$

On the XP-machine, in Explorer rightclick the C-drive and select "Sharing...". Mark Share this folder and give the drive a new name. Then click Permissions. Add the username/password of the W98-pc, who presumably is entered in one or more of your user-groups on the XP-pc.
Make sure that both PCs are in the same Workgroup.
