Hi
I have XP Pro and have used Partition Magic 7 to create a 2nd logical
partition to run another installation of XP.
The reason is, I do some stuff with Access 2002 and some with Access 97 and
can't run them on the same machine. (drivers and data problems etc). So I
want two XP Pros. One with all the 2002 stuff, one with the 97 stuff.
My problem is this:
Now I've created my 2nd partition, I need to boot from the XP setup disk and
choose this new drive to install to. Problem is, although I've set CDROM as
the 1st boot sequence in the pc's BIOS, it doesn't autorun the XP setup when
I reboot.
So I go straight to my old XP system, and can't install XP on the new one.
Any ideas?
