Win XP Dual Boot-able?

[EGS]

How do I create a dual boot? I'm running LE 6.9, and I'd like to create a second boot-able OS for LE 7. Can I partition the system drive, and then select which OS to boot from? Is this advisable? Thanx!

If you don't have a second system drive, then yes, partition the system drive. Windows XP will pretty much walk you through the process. Keep in mind, you will lose all your previous stuff and have to reinstall the OS if you change the partitioning.

Do you suggest getting a second drive instead of partitioning one drive? How do I select which OS to boot from? How would I peform the partitioning if I go that route? I've been dual-booting my MAC (using 2 physical drives by the way), but I am new to Windows. Appreciate any help/advise.

Hello

I replyed to your question on the post you wrote in the TDM forum.

Hope this helps

you have to get something like partition magic to be able to partition on the fly and not ruin the partition you already have

Thanx, all. I'm looking into Norton Partition Magic.
