Windows 98 is old, and by XP's standards, unstable.
Software is optimised for XP. Get over it :P ;D
You won't need a new hard drive, just back up what you wish to save, re-format and install Xp on your existing drive.
Alternatively, partition your existing drive, and have XP on the other partition, keeping '98 happy.
I have a 384MB pIII 667, it won't run FS9 under '98 at anything other than a crawl (4 - 9 fps!), with XP installed, it happily runs FS9 (average 22 fps) albeit at low settings. Its perfectly playable.

Posting drivel here since Jan 31st, 2002. - That long!
"He who laughs last, thinks slowest."
Im not sure as to what settings might need changing but it is currently running at 1467 mghz, 512 DDR ram, 128 mb GeForce FX 5200 graphics card, and Win 98SE. I can manage a constant 25 fps in the air, but while on the ground i get more like 10 to 12 at small airports and 7 to 8 at larger like atlanta. This is with no or maby one AI aircraft at the airport. With more then 2 AI on the ground it drops me to 4 or 5 FPS :-/ Also graphic settings in 02 are set at about medium. I know i sould be getting much more performance then i am. So any advise on how to solve the problem would be greatly apriciated 
If anything XP would slow it down i would think. 98SE runs everything and i dont see why a new op system with even more requirments could make an improvment
