asy1mpo Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 if i have just installed winXp on drive C, and have formated d ready for win2k, after installing how do i set it up so that i can choose which OS to boot into ?? I have done it before somehow and it worked OK - not sure how i did it - i just installed one OS and then another OS and that seems to work Will i need to edit any boot order type file?? If so, how Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlashDot14 Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 As far as I know you cannot dual boot XP and 2k and if you can you would have to install 2k first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baphomet_irl Veteran Posted September 12, 2001 Veteran Share Posted September 12, 2001 i would say that should definitely work, ffs i tri-boot! eheh 98SE/2000/XP use partition magic, then start the install to D: - it should work - althou it might make win2k ur primary boot - but it's not that hard to edit the boot.ini hope that helps....

Jon Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 I boot with 2k on my c drive, that was installed first, and devils own on my d drive, installed 2nd. As they are both versions of NT 5 , I dont think the install order will matter. And changing the boot order is easy, its in control panel> system > performance > boot options (If my memory is working right). Or just edit the boot.ini file!
