Hello Bob,

There is some in-depth information on dual booting at these two sites:

Dual Booting Windows 98/ME/2000 (How to tips)
http://www.webtechgeek.com/center-Frame-win-SuperTechGeek-Dual-Boot.htm

WinXP Dual Boot Tips Page
http://www.winxpfix.com/page5.htm

Also, here is a link to a Microsoft Knowledge Base article on "How To Create
a Multiple-Boot System in Windows XP. It's oriented toward using one hard
drive with two partitions:

Subject: [PCBUILD] Two Hard Drives


I want to install two hard drives on my computer with two different
operating systems (Win98SE and XP Pro). I want to boot them up individually
as my need arises. Can anyone help me and guide me in the right direction. I
do not want to dual boot the system using only one drive. I have several
important programs that work on Win98 but will not work on XP (I tried and
programs have no updates to XP). My computer will support both drives and my
motherboard/cpu is relatively new. I need to be able to boot each OS from a
cold start. Are their any articles that will guide me through this process?
