Dual-Boot or Multi-Boot:Install Win9x/Me on a Windows XP/2K/NT system that uses NTFSReviewed: July 2005You can install Windows Me, 98SE, 98, or 95 on a Windows XP, 2K, or NT computer that already uses only the NTFS file system. A dual-boot is created so you can select either Windows from a Startup Menu during boot up. No third-party boot utility is used here. Two methods of achieving this are described on THPC. Each method is described on its own page. Method #1: Use the same hard disk to install Win9x/Me on an NTFS system (XP/2K/NT)The first method uses a single hard disk though you must create a FAT32 or FAT partition, preferably after the NTFS partition. You can use free space (if any) at the end of the disk, or convert an unused/unessential NTFS partition - otherwise you need a third-party partition utility to repartition without data loss.Please click the following link to view the Method #1 page: http://thpc.info/dual/dual9xonntfs1.html Method #2: Use a second hard disk to install Win9x/Me on an NTFS system (XP/2K/NT)The second method requires the addition of a second hard disk. This second disk will use a FAT32 or FAT file system. Many users have a hard disk from a previous PC that still contains a bootable Win9x - this disk can be used, retaining that Win9x exactly as it was (including all its software, e-mail, passwords, etc). This is THPC's preferred method.Please click the following link to view the Method #2 page: http://thpc.info/dual/dual9xonntfs2.html [top of page] Dual-Boot Centre [top of page] * ALWAYS BACKUP FIRST * ALWAYS RECORD SETTINGS * ALWAYS MAKE ONE CHANGE AT A TIME TweakHomePC is at: www.thpc.info Copyright © LarryM 1998-2007 thpc@mail.com |
