Hi. If somebody can help me here I will greatly appreciate it. Other threads on this issue did not addressed this clearly and microsoft articles did not help either. I will try to be as clear as possible.
1. I want to dual boot to 2 separate hard drives windows 2000 pro and XP home edition. I already have windows XP home installed in one hard drive and this hard drive is setup as the master hard drive in the primary IDE.
2. I have another drive with windows 98 installed (will delete and install 2000 on it) and this hard drive is setup as slave in a secondary IDE.
My goal is to keep my XP installation in that primary hard drive, install 2000 on the other hard drive which is setup as a slave in the secondary IDE, and have an option to dual boot to any of those hard drives at booting time without any problems.
Could you experts please give me the steps to accomplish this goal? What I need to do? What drive should I have in which IDE, etc.?
Looking forward to any of you guy's help.
JM
