W2K...I sometimes wish I hadn't replaced it with XP.
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.
There should be a trick to do this but I can't find the workaround anymore.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
:)
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.
IIRC, you can try the win2k bootloader that the setup installs, or look up a third-party multiboot utility, either way a boot partition image is a must, imho. I's second-OS's job to to install same and fool first-OS into seeing no change.
w2k can be based off another local partition, fwiw.
Goodgotd
Thanks.Still doing some research though...before I go for it.
Could you please post the boot.ini text lines of your W2K.
That might help.Thanks.
sure. here's the one from this laptop.
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
C:\ = "Microsoft Windows"
that's 98se, btw.
