I'm going to be setting up a new computer next week and would like to
partition the hard disk with 2 or 3 boot partitions. Some of the software
I'm needing to use is less than 100% stable, and I've found in the past that
recovery points don't always work properly 100% of the time. I'd like to
run some of these programs in their own partitions so as not to impact other
well behaved software.
Under Windows 2000 this would not be a problem because there wasn't any
product activation. In Windows XP Professional that is another matter.
Obviously I can only run one installation of XP Pro at any given time, so I
don't believe that multiple XP Pro licenses should be required for this
setup. If I go to activate the XP Pro systems setup on this singular
machine with multiple boot partitions will that send a red flag up and not
allow me to do this simple (and I believe legal) activity?
