Triple boot...

[Force Flow]

...completed successfully! :)

So, I now have WinSE ( C: ), win2000 Pro ( D: ), and winXP Pro ( F: ). So far so good, so now all I have to to is configure a few things in 2k and XP, install SP's and update a few drivers.

And I thought maintaining one O/S was a hassle... :p

wow buddy. Your tackling more than I'd dream of taking on! lol.

Well at the moment anyway. :D

Question, why do you want win2k pro and XP Pro - those two contain very, very similar features. Or are you just a microsoft buff?

[Force Flow]

I want to learn how to use 2k and XP so that when people come to me with questions about these O/S's, I can help them out. Plus, I heard XP is great for gaming, so I wanted to try that out as well. ;)

I used to have the same setup (win98, win2k, winXP) on my system. In the long run I think if you get everything setup good you will end up liking XP out of all of them. It is pretty much the same as 2000, but better driver support for more types of hardware, a few more extra handy applications to use, doesnt take as long to boot, but since you have this setup I'm sure your going to find out. I just put Red Hat Linux on my system, so now I have the choice of booting to:
Win98_SE
WinXP
Linux 8.0

[Force Flow]

Yeah, I'm beginning to like XP. ;)

[reboot]

I'm booting 5 OS's, and still use XP about 98% of the time.
The others are there only for support, and 98 only because my ancient ISA SCSI card isn't supported in XP.

[Force Flow]

5?!? What are they?

[reboot]

XP, 2k, 98, BeOS, & 'Nix.
The other 3 systems in the house run a combination of 'Nix/XP, or 'Nix/95.

I thought BeOS was dead and buried. :confused:

[reboot]

Ah, but still fun to mess with :)
I may switch to FreeBSD

[Force Flow]

What is BeOS? :confused:

[glc]

An alternative operating system that kinda looked like a cross between Windows and MacOS that never caught on in the mainstream. Be, Inc. has folded.

[Force Flow]

Ah. No wonder I never heard of it.
