Two Installations Of XP Pro On One System Using System Commander 8

[trevaaaaaaa]

I would like to have two installations of xp pro on one machine and be
able to choose which one to load through system commander 8. I also
want them to be invisible from one another.

My original xp installation was installed when i only had one hard
drive installed, I have now added a second hard drive, I have installed

the second installation of xp to the second hard drive.


I can access both of them through the xp boot menu, but both are
visible to each other, i would like them both to be able to be chosen
from a program like system commander, but be invisible to each other.


I don't really want to change my partition setup because both drives
are pretty full and i don't want to risk losing any data repartitioning

as i dont have backups.


Is this possibe?


Help would be appreciated.

Hi

Did you use the same XP CD for both installations?

Download the UserHiveProfile cleanup utility, think I got the name right. You
have to install it so you can install the next one, download the shared
computer toolkit. It requires you to have 10% of your drive unpartitioned to
work, which is pretty unnatural for a computer user to leave. The point is
the first window that opens after you run the SCToolkit installation informs
you of this. Keep reading cuz it'll get to a link for a 30 day working copy
of Partition Magic 7, a tool worth paying for. You can use it to resize your
partitions with no data loss. Just make sure you don't resize a partition to
less GB than you have used. You may have to do it in shifts, pushing around
the files, and it does take some time. Then you can remove the shared
computer toolkit. Might wanna leave that first one on there...it does some
good stuff automatically that should keep your system in better shape.
Hope This is in time to help,
