Dual boot Windows 2000 & ME... another easy question...
I understand that this Vista does not allow dual boot. That's utter nonsense. The older OS should be installed first; otherwise, you'll have trouble creating a dual-boot When I upgrade, sould I jut pop-in the cd/dvd and let the Ultimat do the upgrade or should I wipe out the hard drive and do a clean install?

The only way I know to do it at this point, since I have to have a "working" computer while I'm doing this (and due to my health it still takes me forever to do the simplest things) is to do a dual-boot (something else new to me). I'll also want to install only the OS (and not the other crap on the Dell disk) and

8.1 install question (yes i did RTFM)
MS removed dual booting in Win95 from OSR2.0, at a guess therefore dual booting will not work in Win98. You can however construct a dual boot system in the following way: Make a FAT16 partition for Windows 3.1/Dos, boot from a floppy to Dos and install Dos and Windows 3.1 Make a boot floppy disk that has a

If you can install XP somewhere else, (another drive or partition) it will automatically set up a dual boot system. Safe Mode it there and a very useful "Boot on the last known good configuration."

If you'd like to boot : - Win2000 leave the settings as they are. - Win98 change the settings for your boot order such that D: comes before C: The disadvantage here is that you'll have to keep switching your BIOS settings every time to want to boot the other OS...

One more question if you don't mind. To save a little money, I did a clean install of Vista Business on my floortop computer (that's a full tower case on wheels) from an Upgrade to Vista DVD. No problem if you know the trick. Would the same clean install (in dual boot of course) work on my portable with a Vista

I've searched the web and Abit boards for clues, but I'm at a loss as to where to begin to start this installation. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Newbie Question -- redhat 8 and winxp
Dual boots are usually done using a clean install and the full version of Windows XP, not an upgrade. Hence the difference in price between an upgrade version and the full product. To dual boot with an upgrade copy you will need to install Windows ME on two seperate partitions. That's assuming Dell supplied you

Dual boot with WinXP
I want to add win98 back on so I can dual boot and play my older games again.
