Greetings to all,

I an building a new computer for my daughter that she will
use in her business. I would like to dual boot XP with
itself on different partions. The reason being it will
give me a meams to access the principal partion to make
repairs in case of a problem that prevents booting, and if
there is a problem my daughter can shift to the other
istallation of XP and be able to continue until I can fix
the issue causing the problem.
I completely know how to set up the dual boot.
My question is can I do this with one license seeing as it
is one the same machine? If this is possible please advise
how to do it.
Thank you so much,
Frank Mezo

Hi,

As per the license you are supposed to install only ONE
copy of XP on a single computer.

Frank,

This has been discussed recently.
The End User License Agreement is quite clear about this.
You may only install one licensed copy of Windows XP to a single PC, once.

1. GRANT OF LICENSE. Microsoft grants you the following
rights provided that you comply with all terms and
conditions of this EULA:
1.1 Installation and use. You may install, use, access,
display and run one copy of the Software on a single computer,
such as a workstation, terminal or other device ("Workstation
Computer").

The key here is "install ... one copy"
