Other Added - How to Plan and Prepare your Windows Xp Hard Disk for a Dual Boot Computer Installation
I am constantly amazed at how many web sites and articles that I read on the internet, where the writing wanders off the subject and becomes somewhat confusing and the spelling is so poor.It is so important to have well thought out and original content for articles or newsletters, as this is the place where your image is established. In today's "online world" people seem to
5-The Types of file systems may can't be the same. This is because Windows XP, Win 2000 uses NTFS, which are not recognized by older version of Windows. So, depending on what you need to install with Windows XP, you format the partition accordingly.
For example, Win 95 used FAT, Win 98 uses FAT32. Both can be read by Windows XP operating system.

How Individuals and Groups can Fundraise for Hurricane Katrina ReliefWhen Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of the United States on August 28th 2005, the results were devastating, heartbreaking, and far-reaching. The aftermath of this natural disaster will ultimately have an effect on every citizen of the United States in one way or another. If you or a loved one were persona
In the case of a dual boot computer, there are two operating systems residing on the same computer.
Before you install two operating systems, there are some criteria the computer must meet, and the is a certain order in which the installation should be done.
Let me assume that you need to install two operating systems on one hard disk, and one of them is windows XP, and the other is an older Windows OS.
Beside the criteria that your computer should meet, there are some planning you can do. Here are the criteria and planning you might want to consider:
1- The recommended Hard disk size should be at least 4 Gigs, 2500 MBS for Windows XP, and 1500 MBS for the other operating systems.
If you use 3 Gigs, depending on your programs, you might run low on hard disk space. I tried this myself, and kept getting a message that the system is running low on disk space.
2-The Hard disk should be a basic hard disk, so it can be used by older version of Windows like, win 95, 98.
The term basic hard disk is the commonly used disk. If the disk is not coverted to dynamic, then it is basic.
The dynamic disk is a feature in Windows XP and Win 2000 that can't be accessed by older version of windows. Also, the dynamic disk can only have one operating system. So, a dynamic disk can't be used for multibooting.
3-There are two more hardware recommenation after my experience. You should need at lease a pentuim III/ 500 MHZ processor, and a RAM memory of 250MBs at least.
4-The number of partition is up to you. It can be any number between 2 and 4, both included. This is because, the basic hard disk can only have 4 primary partitions.
Any operating system installed should be on a seperate primary partition. Since you need a dual boot machine, then you need two at least, and depending on how big your storage is, you may or may not have enough space for a third or fourth partition.
5-The Types of file systems may can't be the same. This is because Windows XP, Win 2000 uses NTFS, which are not recognized by older version of Windows. So, depending on what you need to install with Windows XP, you format the partition accordingly.
For example, Win 95 used FAT, Win 98 uses FAT32. Both can be read by Windows XP operating system.
6-The order of installing the operating systems should be, the older Operating system should be installed first, and new new versions last. So,
Written Hazard Communication Program.Very important, but, don't be intimidated by this requirement of the standard. The written program need not be lengthy or complicated, yet it is likely to be one of the first things an OSHA inspector will ask to see during an inspection. The written hazard communication program needs to be specific to your workplace, and it must des

I have often heard business owners say that they could never imagine working for someone else, because they love the freedom that business ownership offers. On the other hand, I have heard employees say that they would never want to have their own businesses. They believe that there are a lot of hassles associated with being a business owner.I have been both an employee and a b

In 1859, miners around Mt. Davidson, Nevada were panning and slucing 18 hours a day for enough gold to pay for grub and drinks. They were hampered in their mining by blue clay. The blue stuff clogged their equipment, interferred with their efforts and made mining for gold darn near impossible.Finally, one man had the dreaded, awful, ugly, blue stuff assayed. To his surpris

Heavily branded websites like amazon.com are household names and carry an implied trust with visitors. However, the vast majority of websites are not well known and are found and visited as a result of search engine searches. In these instances, the visitor is probably arriving at the website for the first time and human nature often dictates fear or suspicion of the unknown.<

6-The order of installing the operating systems should be, the older Operating system should be installed first, and new new versions last. So, if you are installing Windows XP with Win 95, 98, or 2000, you install one of those operating systems first. After you are done, you install Windows XP. So remmber, Win XP is installed last.
In Summary, going over the 6 elements I mentioned above, you can have a system ready to install a dual boot operating system. But, please remember, you can always add more depending on your experience.
