Hi
I have two hard drives in the same computer.
The first one has 3 partitions and the second one just one for the time
being.
Ideally, I'd like to install either a Ghost copy of XP onto the second HD or
install XP from my CD onto the second HD (in case the first HD packs in, I
would have a second one ready to access the Net assuming I can load it via
DOS)
I've already tried installing XP a second time from my CD but I failed.
XP detects itself and only offers to either modify or uninstall itself on
the first HD.
A friend has said that even if I copy my Ghost Image of XP onto the second
HD, it won't work cos the drives won't have the same letter.
Another friend has said that XP can multiboot with a second system like
Millenium or even Linux, but he's not sure about XP being installed twice
and multibooting.
As I am skating on thin ice, I'd like to ask your group what they think.
Thanks in advance
