multiple OS

[imdaddyfor3]

Is it possible to have Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 installed on my computer at the same time but not running simultaneously?

[Slurpy316]

Yes

Install Windows NT first of all then kick off an installation of Windows 2000. When the setup starts, instead of upgrading your current Windows Installation, select a new installation (preferrably on a different partition) and install Windows 2000 there.

Thank you, will it be obvious how to boot up which OS i need?

Hello Dere

When the computer completes its POST routine you get a screen offering you the option of loading NT or Windows 2000.

Quick tip for choosing your default boot menu settings:

In NT they will be in the Startup/Shutdown tab of My Computer properties

In Win 9x you will have to edit your Boot.ini file manually.
