Hi,
I need to install xp professional on my machine, it's a
dual boot (windows 2000 and windows me). The original os
I had was windows me (c drive), I then installed w2k (f
drive), I used partition magic 6.0 to partition my disc.
I now would like to install xp in addition to the 2 os I have. This is
because I ran upgrade advisor (thinking it would be ok to upgrade from ME)
and I found that my printer/scanner and alot of my hardware and software
incompatiable. So I wish to keep ME but install xp as well. If I use
partition magic 6 (which is not compatible with xp) to reduce the size of
drive c (ME) to free up more space for xp, it doesn't create space, it just
adds up the freed space to the other os.
Do you know what should I do? If I insert the xp cd, would I be able to
create a new partition for the installation?
Thank you
