Hi all,
Just a quick question about dual boot systems:
I have a laptop that I want to have a dual boot system on, these
operating systems are:
Windows 2000 Pro
Windows XP Pro
The laptop is over and above the minimum required spec to run these
operating systems.
I want to reformat my hard drive, create two 20 GB partitions (the hard
drive is 40GB) and put XPPro on the first partition and WIN2K on the
second. I have done this before with Win98 and Win2K, I had to install
Win 98 first followed by Win2K.
What I would like to confirm is:
Will XPPro and Win2K allow me do what I have described above?
Do I need to install one O/S before the other (i.e. a specific order)?
If anyone has done this before, are there any pitfalls I need to watch
out for?
I am assuming all should be OK, but I don't want too much downtime, so
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Joe
