Hi Just my 2 cents, I would instead of using one hard drive for both windows versions, I would get a second drive and use it for the second windows version. I myself dual boot and have been for years, as problems always arise with windows or most any other os, it's a good idea to use a second drive. So that way if something goes amiss with one then at least you can still boot to the other drive. That would give you options on repairing the other or backing up and replacing/reformatting. Again my 2 cents Brad Feuerhelm Presque Isle, Maine "Someone turn on the heat!"

I need Win98SE to run an Intel video capture card for which there is no WinXP driver. Perhaps there are instructions on the Internet on how to do this although I haven't been able to find it. Thanks in advance for any pointers on how to do this. Michael Eisenstadt Austin Texas Visit our website regularly for FAQs, articles, how-to's, tech tips and much more http://freepctech.com
