dual-boot

Posted: 10-30-2003, 12:28 PM
I have (win xp) on my master hard drive and I am trying to
make a dual boot system with (winMe) on a second hard drive
but no matter where I set the dip swithes on secondary hard
drive I can't get (win xp) to recognise the second hard
drive with (win Me). Please e-mail me at
jbs223@netscape.net If you have the answer It is very
important that I get this resolved soon.

You have to do an install of the second operating system, XP
will set up a boot window that will ask which OS you want to
boot.

Hi,

Go to www.dougknox.com and go to Win XP Tips

For Win9x/Me: Install 98/Me after XP is Installed.

Hope it helps.

>Jody. For you to be able to dual boot. You have to
install Windows ME first. Then install windows xp after
that. Other wise you cannot have a dual boot system
