Dual boot options How?
How do you get options as to whether to boot to Win 98 or Win XP on startup I have Win 98 at the mo and looking to upgrade fully to XP shortly but still have a lot of programs on 98.
Also one of the other main reasons for getting XP on my machine is that I have recently bought a handheld "pen" digital camera and I don't have any drivers, I have searched high and low on the net and just cannot find them, so I hooked it up to my friends PC who runs XP and it found it and installed some drivers and it worked and I really want to start using it. The camera doesn't seem to have a make it just says (on the box) e-studio digital camera 3 in 1? thanks for any help |

Install XP, and it will create the boot menu to select either OS.

No dont uninstall 98, if you do what reboot told you, XP will install itself on your logical D: drive and win 98 will still be installed on your c: drive. You will get the option to boot into win 98 or XP each time you start the computer.

I hadn't partitioned my hard drive when I first posted this thread so I now understand, I am not going to install xp on the other partition I'm going to put xp on my other machine and I'm going to be running Unix and win 98 on this machine, do any of you know how I would put unix on the other partition?
