You cant run win98 on the d:, you must first install win98 on c: like you would usuly do and after that install win2000 on d:, the rest will config it self...
win98 must have its boot files on c: and thats why it must be installed on c:

OP
This means i have to format right?
Tell me if the following is right:
1.format C: /s in command prompt
2.reboot
3.insert win98 boot disk
4.mun fdisk
5.delete NTFS partition(not really sure how to do this one)
6.create fat partition
7.reboot with cdrom support
8.install 98
Win2k:
1. choose make a new installation D:\windows
2.follow instructions to complete install
(then what do i do to be able to use both?
does it ask at startup?)

If you have Win98 on one driver and install Win2k on another, it will automatically create a boot menu to let you choose which OS you wanna use today.
I f you wanna have more precise information about editin and tweaking what does appearin this menu, I gave link in this old post : How can I access the bootmenu to edit the text it displays in 2k? .
