XP dual boot

Post by bob284 »

I want to Install XP on d: drive with NTFS file system and dual boot between XP on d: drive and ME on c: drive.
Will XP and Me dual boot with XP formatted with NTFS file system? :rolleyes:

Yes but the ME partition won't be able to see the XP partition because it is NTFS. You are best off to fully format and remove ME (BLAH the worst) and just use XP. :) :D

make Windows Me your first partition.
then Install Windows XP to second partition, if you boot with CD then it takes you to a partition/fdisk blah blah..
choose make partition and install to new partition.
the instructions are really easy even for a newbie.

try reading some info about NTFS and what you can do to fit your situation..
