If you had to compress your HD to have enough space for Windows 98, it's
unlikely that you have enough to install XP (minimum 20GB?). I'd also bet
that you probably lack other minimum system requirements like an 400Mhz
processor and 256MB of memory. In fact many would say you need a 1Ghz
processor and 512MB of memory for adequate performance. Did you run the
suitability program?
