Dual boot on seperate drives?
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, -- MVH Klaus Lauritsen (Remove NIXTHIS in mailadress to reply) |

Dual boot on seperate drives?
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, Mike "Klaus Lauritsen" wrote in message ... Hi there, Got W2kUS on my C-drive.
