Dual-boot -->
If you are wanting to install win2k without
having another version of windows installed prior, just put in your win2k cd
in any machine, and look for something like bootdisk, or startupdisk, or
bootedit (i cant remember the actual name, and i dont have my win2k cd at the
moment sorry), but this will create a set of 4 boot disks, which will let you
install win2k without any other OS installed.

since
you are using partition magic, you should also use bootmagic. what you want
to do is create two primary partitions. a harddrive can only have one active
primary partition at a time, so the boot magic is what sets the partition
active at start. the active partition is what will show up as your windows
"c:" drive. i think you can have up to 3 or 4 primary partitions on one
drive, so you can boot up up to 4 different os's. keep in mind that when a
primary partition is set innactive it is invisible to the os so you loose
that entire space on the drive.
if you want to share data between
the two different os's you are creating, create an extended partition
with a logical partition inside it. this partition will be visible to all
the os's (as long as it is formatted in a supported file system). so if you
create a logical partition formatted in fat32, it will be visible to both
windows boots, or a win98 boot of you choose to do so, as the "d:" drive.
you can even view it in a linux boot if you mount it correctly.
i've
done this stuff a million times, so if you have questions email me private,
i'll be happy to help.

- What's the best way of having a dual boot W2k system..?
-
- The W2k version I have requires a previous version of Windows to
be already installed - i.e. it won't install from the DOS
prompt...
-
- I'll be using PM6...
