I know you can have windos and linux on 1 harddrive, just make sure you make a bootpartition for linux, dunno 'bout 2 windows versions, monsE would know <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

Yes, just load them to different partitions. You can have as many as your hard-drive will take, as long as you specify which partition you want to boot to in DOS during the boot process.

Oh and use partition magic to make your partitions (sorry don't have link now, I'll look for it when I'm back home)

Really, why infect your computer with double the microsoft? You must like torment. One version of Windows is usually enough for most people.

Well, I myself am also using Win2K and Win98: Win2K for whenever I want to get something done, and Win 98 whenever that mean, sadistic trait comes through.

jed, if you like bashing microsoft so much, name a better operating system that is incredibly easily to manage and pretty stable along witht he fact that houses MOST programs compared to others. You really can't, and linux is mainly server managing, so don't even go into that.

Jedisar

Bah, Linux works fine.

Elowind - just email/PM me if you want the steps to do this with the least headache. It's not too hard, just time consuming.
