Thread: How do you do a dual boot?

  1. #1

    Question How do you do a dual boot?

    I would like to run a dual boot off my PC, and run win2k along with WinMe. My question here is are there any good sites that will explain to me what to do. I have an extra HDD so I can install and run Win2K from that, but have no clue what to do about it....

    Thanks....

    Look on the net for references to boot.ini, which is the file that contains all the bootable operating systems that you make your selection from. You can also, while installing Win2K, tell the installation that you want to specify where to put Win2K, and specify the other HDD. In the end, you will end up with a boot.ini file.

    Basically when you install 2K you can select the setup you want...in your case for it to set up a dual boot system.
