OK, just need some clarification. I would like to dual boot, using 1 HD, Win2k and WinMe.
When dual booting the 2 OS's, you should use FAT32 (in order to have access to your entire HD). Also, install WinMe before Win2k, right?
Now, here's where I need some serious help...I would ultimately be creating 5 parititions.
WinMe OS & drivers
Games, software, and utilities
Win2K OS, drivers, Office, and VisualStudio
software & utilities
storage (mp3, setup files)
So does that look good? Smart idea? Bascially, I know it sucks in that if I'm playing a game (WinMe) and decide
to check my E-mail, I would have to boot into Win2k...etc. I know you can play a lot of games under Win2k, but I still like to play my EA Sports games--need the 9x kernel for that. I also want to avoid installing Outlook or other programs twice.
Does anyone else have a dual boot system set up? Is this the way to do it, or is being redundent the way to go?
Other question: Should I just pick an OS and stick with it--no dual boot??
Thanks a lot guys.
