Hi FantasySoul,

Which 2 operating systems are you planning to use? WinNT, Win2000 and WinXP will install a boot loader if it detects a Win9x OS already installed on the system. Gives you a choice between OS's while you're booting up.

Hi FantasySoul,
I don't think it's possible to switch from one OS to another without rebooting, but there is a program that will let you run an OS inside another, it's called VMWare, but in this case you won't get the full power of the second OS.
