Hi to everyone,
This question is about something that i am wondering if can be done. Such as dual booting Windows XP Home (SR1 Updated) and Windows 98SE.
What i am wondering is:
1. Which operating system has to be installed first, as at the moment i have XP Home installed on my C:\ drive?
2. Do i need any extra software such as a bootloader program for this to work?
3. If i format C:\ and then install a new copy of XP Home on C:\.
Can i then install a recent ghost backup copy of my up to date XP Home files, on top of the basic XP installation on C:\?
4. Can i do the same with the 98SE files on the D:\ drive as in question 3?
5. I have my computer networked together with my son's computer (Mine XP Home, his 98SE).
If i do the dual boot on my computer, will it cause any problems with the network setup?
The two computers are linked by two network cards and a cable.
My computer hard drive specs are as follows:
80GB hard drive partitioned off with the:
C:\ drive (XP Home)
D:\ drive (File system backups)
E:\ drive (Ghost Backups)
F:\ drive (Ghost Backups)
G:\ (Recovery, made by the computer maker)
J:\ drive (File system backups)
27GB hard drive partitioned off with the:
K:\ drive (File system backups)
L:\ drive (File system backups)
Thanks in advance.
