2 win xp's how to boot?

[lisa79]

Hi guys,

Right i have 2 versions of xp running on 2 seperate drives, so to make a short question even shorter, what is an easy way of choosing between each operating system at start up, as right now im having to go into bios each time and switch the order of the hard drives at boot up, ive tried bootmagic but it aint working, must be something else i can use?, cheers

you might wanna try to put both OS's on one harddrive, then when you boot up it will ask you which one you want to boot

Ok so besides putting both ops on the same drive theres nothing else i can do then?

Firstly why would you want to dual boot the same os, could just use differnt users

anyway take a look at

Ive never heard of a way to run an os off a slave drive

maybe you could do it by changing your autoexec.bat ...that might do the trick

pretty sure that bootit ng should allow you to boot from two hdds
