Well, you don't need any third party tool !
Well win98 is the oldest one and so less versatile .. You need to install all the above stuff in a particular order ..

That is first install win98 on primary partition. ie C: drive in windows then install winXP on any partition , then install linux on any partition (ofcourse every thing will be on different partition) and during installing linux , choose bootloader to be installed on MBR !

ya,

ricky's right,

but if you are looking for a third party boot loader
XOSL is good.
