Hi - I've read several MS Multi-Boot articles and searched some postings. I have read a lot about setting up multiple partitions on the SAME hard drive for multiple OS's but what about having two different physical hard drives - one running Windows XP (Master), the other Windows 98 SE (Save).
The situation is I have a 4.5 year old PIII 733 with 768MB Memory running a single hard drive with Windows 98SE. I plan to purchase a brand new hard drive, install it as the Master and set the jumpers to the existing hard drive with Windows 98SE to make it slave. I'd then like to do a clean install of XP on the new (Master) hard drive but still be able to choose to boot into the slave drive to run Windows 98SE if I choose to. Will XP's Multi-boot manager allow this? Do I need an external multi-boot program to handle this?
Thanks in advance!
