Is is good to install 2 windows xp in the same hard drive? I just want to do
it because I am tired of backing up files manually and if I access the
computer and then copy the files all at once, and reinstall windows fresh
with only one copy it can save me a lot of time. Any suggestions??
 
Hi

No, it's not a good idea and you should get a warning telling you that if
you try to install a 2nd copy of XP onto the same hard disk/partition that
already has an XP installation on. You would lose all the Registry entries
for the programs that are already installed - making them unusable.
