Dual boot on seperate drives?

[Klaus Lauritsen]

Hi there,

Got W2kUS on my C-drive. Planning to upgrade to XP, I would like to be able
to dualboot during a switch period, until all drivers and compatibility
issues are checked.

Q: Can I install XP on my D-drive, and select between the OS´s during boot?

Q: Plan B is to Install XP on top of 2k, with its "WINDOWS"-folder nect to
2k´s "WINNT". Go or nogo?

Any other suggestions?

Thnx in advance,

Plan A is is your best bet. If you install in on the same drive, you'll
have a shared program files directory and will more than likely run into
some serious propblems with certian applications and/or settings.

Installing XP on your second drive will keep both OS's completely seperate
from one another.

Thanks,
