ok so im new to dual booting so i have a few Q's before i go ahead and do it.
firstly id liek to say abit abotu my setup i have
1 - 30GB HDD which is my master drive and is home of my OS (winXPpro)
1 - 238GB HDD which is my slave drive being used for backup and storage only.
this drive has 3 partitions like so:
1x 99.9GB - used for media back up
1x 93.8GB - used for apps and games backup
1x 39.0GB - which i want to use for DUAL BOOTING (to test out some custom slipstreams of mine)
my 1st question is:
1.even though my new OS location will be the 39GB partition once the OS is installed will i still be able to use the other partitions as normal as they are on the same drive?
2. are there any chanegd i nede to make in the BIOS or to my jumpers as i want it to boot with a list of my OS's and i select whcih OS to boot then it boots?
3. do i NEED any 3rd party software to dual boot? if so any recomendations?
many thanks
