I have just bought a copy of XP Pro SP2.
Currently I use Win98SE and have three "C" partitions on my machine.
All have Windows 98 on them.
The first partition is my production version of Win98SE.
When I want to test new software (or an upgrade), I copy my production
Windows into the second partition. Then I reboot to that partition and
run my test. The other "C" partitions are hidden so my "D" and "E"
hard drives never get remapped.
My question is:
Will this work OK with Windows XP Professional SP2 without triggering
product activation? (I will load XP into partition 1 and activate
before I do any partition copying)
Can I have 3 copies of Windows XP - one in each partition. I usually
boot into partition 3 to run Partition Magic Pro 7 since it does not
have to boot into DOS mode to copy partition 1 to partition 2?
