I's second-OS's job to to install same and fool first-OS into seeing no change. </p> <p>w2k can be based off another local partition, fwiw. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3013#post-24466 Sat, 29 Mar 2008 22:39:55 +0000 Robert 24466@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>W2K...I sometimes wish I hadn't replaced it with XP.</p> <p>I still have a W2K and I'd love to work with it again.But I don't know if it's possible to make a dual boot *after* one has XP installed.<br /> There should be a trick to do this but I can't find the workaround anymore.</p> <p>Any help would be deeply appreciated.</p> <p>:)</p> <p>But I do still have an image of W2K ,but I guess then again I need a special entry to adjust the boot.ini file. </p>
