24069 2001-11-09 11:36:00 Okay, so everyone is talking about dual-booting XP and 98 or whatever...

how about dual-booting XP with DOS 6.2 or something? Is it possible?

24071 2001-11-09 19:57:00 Hi Mike,with a powerful program like Partition Magic you can make 2 primary partitions and use their boot manager to select which one to boot up on, the one not being used becomes hidden.
With this you could also have a common extended partition if so desired that can be accessed from either OS.
Cheers.

Thanks Terry, although I haven't been able to figure out how to make two primary partitions in Partition Magic... Not wanting to screw things up, I haven't really wanted to make guesses :)
