slimshady89 Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 hey guys tonight I am going to try to dual-boot my PC tonight Wish me luck! and is there anything that I should be careful about ? and anything that I should always remember? here's what I am doing : Backing up my data :) Creating boot discs for both Windows XP and Mandrake 9.2 I partitioned my hdd (40 GB) into 3 sections : 1. Windows XP (20 GB) 2. Mandrake (10 GB) 3. I am planning on partitioning my drive into this so that I can access this data (mainly mp3s and movies) from both Windows XP and Mandrake ... this is going to be (V)FAT (the only problem is I dont know how to do that) (10 GB) I have defragged my drive so am I ready to go?
