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...
