running 2 OS on your PC

[chicohonda02]

Could you for some reason could you run EX: win98SE and WinXP on the same PC?

Different HD?

Could it be set up, so you select which one you want to run at the start of boot?

Not sure if this is too far fetched. Just curious. I figure its a no answer because of everything that loads for each, that makes it different.

yes you can. do a search for dual booting and you will find all kinds of info on this.

If you want to make it easier (well in one sense) then you can install virtaul operating software and load them all into the program.

Anybody Try This Virtual Pc??????

I use VMWare. Works great for basic installs. By that I mean you won't get full support for graphic or audio drivers, but the rest should work fine.
