What's the best way to dual boot.......

[parkie]

I have two IBM 75GXP hard drives installed on my KT7-Raid and I was wondering what the best way to run two operating systems is?
I want to run two different installations of Windows Millenium on my PC so I can use one for my music software and one for games and everything else.
Any help would be appreciated and I would rather not have to go in to the bios everytime I want to change.

What software do you use?



Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

you'd probably have to have a 3rd party boot loading software to do that. I dont use win me or any win9x based OS (NT 5 only for me) so I'm not 100% sure.

whats wrong with win2k (NT 5)?

You would need something like Bootmagic.

well you dont need any software ...... but just make sure you install winme or win9x first before you install win2k.

I do not think he said anything about installing Win2k.

God damn SUO, great partitioning info you wrote up....




btw, did that get you elite, or was it something else you did?

I know of two great bootmanagers:

-OSL2000 (available at download.com)

-XOSL ( Click here

XOSL is totally free, OSL2000 is shareware, but has only the timer disabled.

Pretender, the 3l33tn3ss was granted shortly after that post.

My sequencer does not run Win2K


I've just tried Bootmagic and had a complete nightmare.
It is quite apparent that I have no idea what I'm doing.
Back to the drawing board!

thanks for your help
