Hmm...
Well, here I am with a little question...
How do I install 2 Operating Systems on my PC and be able to select which I want to boot into? Say for example MS Windows 98 SE and MS Windows XP.
In the XP Setup, I noticed something about Dual Boot Support, but I just kept pressing ok, nect, etc, like I usually do when installing something so I didn't exactly read it :) Foolish me.
I noticed that there was a refference to microsoft.com explaining it, but I didn't write it down :P
I think that XP does that Boot thing automatically, but you need to install the other OS beforehand. Do you need to install the OS on a seperate partition each or can they be on the same partition? I have a vague idea that each needs to be on a seperate partition, however I only ever tried with both OS on the same partition, and resulted with XP installed over 98 SE (Single OS) :)
When I used to install 3.11 and 95, I would manually make the Boot Menu through autoexec.bat and config.sys files, both would be on the same partition. I wouldn't have the slightest clue anymore :)
I would appreciate any further information on this topic.
Thanks,
