Multiple XP Pro Boot Partitions?

[Mannie Maramba]

Is it possible to set up a PC to boot to dual XP Pro
Partitions, one FAT 32, the other NTFS without using a
Third Party Program?

Hi,
Yes...its possible.....but can be done before u Install XP[Pro and Home] and
not after Installing XP
While Installing XP...boot from the CD and then it gives u a prompt as to
what u want u do in Unpartioned space..at this point choose to Create a
Partition and then format it using eith NTFS of Fat32 and then after a
restart again create a partiton on remaining space and format this one with
with of File System Types.
And to top it all this operation to format and Create partion can be done
from XP Cd itself

I would think so since I heard of other people having XP on Fat32

partitions. Installing to a new NTFS partition can be done as many times as
you have hard drive space for

I don't know if XP will create a new partition in FAT32 though, you might

need Win98b or WinME to create the partition first.
