It's possible depending upon the OS. If you are thinking about running Linux, it should be no problem.

Double boot is when one pc can have two operating systems installed at the same time. When the computer boots up, an option screen appears allowing you to choose which OS you wish to use. Triple boot is the same thing as double boot, but with three OS's.

I have w98se and xp-pro right now, and I want to add another hard drive with red hat or something like it on the new drive
that way each O/S will have its own hard drive

ok first thing is do you have partition magic ?

you need to have xp already installed

redude the partition that xp is on and try to have at least 20 gig of unalocated free space.
then boot the system with the cd that your burned with red hat v 9.1 and follow the instructions.

there is more if this much is a help
