Can I dual boot in Windows 2000?

ActiveWin.com: Microsoft Windows 2000 - Frequently Asked Que...
You can configure your computer to start Windows 2000, Windows NT, and either Windows 95 or Windows 98. However, you cannot configure a computer to multiple boot Windows 95 and Windows 98. Both Windows 95 and Windows 98 use the same boot file. Therefore, multiple booting Windows 95 and Windows 98 at the same time is not supported. Your installations are less prone to problems if you install Windows 95 or Windows 98 before you install Windows NT and Windows 2000.

How do you remove a Win9x partition from a dual-boot system?

The Broadband Reports Windows XP FAQ - dslreports.com
Usually the Win9x will be the C: drive, which also contains the files needed for booting. So, you cannot simply reformat this partition to remove Win9x. Instead, the following procedure should work: Delete the C:\Windows and C:\Program Files folders, along with any other folders on the C: drive that you do not need anymore. Some reports also say you can format the C: drive and boot from the Win XP CD, which will allow you to repair the boot files.

Can I dual-boot between Windows XP and a previous OS?

Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows: Windows XP ("Whi...
Yes, but you will have to have two partitions (or hard drives) so that you can install XP separately from your other system (which can be DOS/Windows 3.1, Windows 9x/Me, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows 2000). Windows XP will automatically set up a boot menu so you can choose which OS you want when the machine starts up or reboots. The boot menu is configurable by hand-editing the hidden file boot.ini, which you will find in the root of the C: drive.

How can I back up a dual-boot machine?

OUCS TSM / ADSM FAQ
You will need a TSM client for each operating system. Register separately for each of your two (or three) operating systems for HFS TSM Backup via the registration pages. This will give you TSM Client nodenames of the form username-text-department/college, e.g. abcd1234-windows-exeter and abcd1234-linux-exeter. You should then obtain and install the latest TSM Client software for each operating system, from the Getting Started link from the front page of the HFS web pages.

How do I dual-boot with an MS operating system?

If the MS system is on a FAT32 partition, Lilo will automatically detect it and include it in the menu. Grub will do the same, and later versions will do so even if it's on an NTFS partition. There are a variety of possible setups--one can boot Linux from NT, which is a bit of a nuisance to setup, or NT from Linux, which takes, in modern distros at least, about 2 minutes to get working. For using grub see my grub page.

Q. My hard disk has multiple partitions (dual boot). Can I install by imaging?

Managed Windows Service (MWS) Installation - Computing Servi...
If you have multiple partitions, it is usually because you have multiple operating systems installed, and a boot menu that allows you to choose between them at startup. The mechanism that creates this boot menu is actually rather strange. One partition on your hard disk is designated as "active" -- that is, this partition is always booted from. The boot menu exists only on this partition.

I want to test my dual core processor and motherboard. How do I boot the MP kernel?

When I boot, I get these warning messages as the kernel completes configuration and starts up. What do they mean? WARNING: preposterous time in file system WARNING: file system time much less than clock time You may safely ignore them. These ISOs use a CD/DVD filesystem (CD9660) and the kernel thinks it is checking a Berkeley Fast File System (FFS) instead. Eliminating those warning messages would require altering OpenBSD kernel source, which I will not do.

How do I dual-boot Mac OS X with other OSes without messing with bootloaders?

Technical FAQ - OSx86
Quick and easy, copy chain0 to the root directory of your bootable Windows drive, then add the following the bottom of your "boot.ini" file: C:\Chain0="Mac OS X86" this however renders the Quiet Boot option useless, so if the Darwin loader annoys you as much as it does me then add this to the bottom of your "boot.ini" instead: C:\Chain0="Mac OS X86" "Quiet Boot"="Yes" I do not mess about with boot loaders. I run XP and OSX. I boot from pc BIOS F11, which enables boot from any available disk.

edit] How does a dual-boot setup work exactly?

Switching to GNU/Linux FAQ - BinaryFreedom.INFO
Setting up GNU/Linux for dual-boot is easy. When the gNewSense installer detects another operating system on your hard disk, it offers you two options: Resize the area of the hard disk that is reserved for the other operating system and use the free space to install gNewSense (for the technically inclined: this is called "partitioning") When you take the second route, the existing operating system remains fully functional, although the area of the hard disk that is visible to it becomes smaller.

edit] How can I exchange files with a dual-boot setup?

Switching to GNU/Linux FAQ - BinaryFreedom.INFO
While Windows is not able to see the part of the hard disk on which gNewSense is installed, you can read your Windows files from gNewSense. By using the gNewSense installer, or by using a partitioning tool after installation, you can dedicate an area of the hard disk for use by both Windows and gNewSense. To do this, create a small FAT32 partition.

How do I make it dual (triple, quadruple, etc.) boot with my current operating system(s)?

Chapter 1: The Linux Operating System
Remember, unless this is a development system, you do not need nor want two operating systems on a machine that will be a server. However, during installation, you can elect to have the system add a dual boot feature using lilo, or you can add the Linux boot to almost every known boot manager for the Intel-based PC. Not really, it is not native. Using an emulator, like WINE, you may be able to get some or all of Office97 to run.

Will having different hostnames on my Linux/Windows dual-boot system invalidate my license file?

Gridgen FAQ
No. The lmhostid is used to calculate the key, not the server hostname. The lmhostid should be the same for both since it comes from the Ethernet card. Since it is the same, the user should have two copies of his license file. The one for Windows should have the server name set to the Windows server hostname. The Linux license file should have the server hostname associated with the machine when booted under Linux.
