Mounts will remain until you
a) Mount a new image to that Virtual Drive.
b) Specifically unmount the image.
c) Image moves, is deleted, or the logical drive letter changes.

Boot off the update CD & it will ask for proof. Then insert the win98 CD.
Installing win98, then XP over the top is asking for problems.

It's a basic disk. WinXP cannot boot from a dynamic disk.
Right click on the 30G partition & select "Assign Drive letter".

This is a common problem with large HD's. The bios can only directly access 128GB's. Windows however can see that it's a larger disc & is addressing it as such.
Update your bios, otherwise you will have serious issues.
