Anyone know where I can get a step by step guide to installing a second OS using Partition Magic 6.
I already have WinME on my C Drive but I want to install it again in a different partion and then dual boot.
I've been trying to do this for a few days now with very little success but I think that was down to installing the second version on my second hard drive.

anyway hope someone can help

The best way to dual boot is to use 2 hard drives. If you partition one drive then C: drive is the boot drive and that is where a win9x type OS should be installed. If you are dual booting between winME and say Win2k then you must install the other OS on the second partion. This can be done by putting the new OS cd in and telling the install routine to install on drive d:, which would be the other partition. This will automatically create a dual boot screen on boot up.

I hope this helps. My only experience with dual booting is with win98se and win2k.
 
What I would do is use Partition Magic and resize the existing partition, if you do not have a second drive. You can use either System Commander 2000 or Boot Magic 6 to dual boot, or multi-boot.

Hope that helps!

Boot Magic 6.0 works fine for dual booting, but like other members mentioned also, installing a Win9x OS on the C: drive then installing the other OS on a different partition will automatically create the dual boot for you.
