If I decide to set up a dual boot of Win9x with my current Win2000, will it make my Win2000 less stable because of Win9x ?

Thanks

The only problem you can run into is if you have installed programs in the same folder. Avoid that at all costs it will muck up your system. Other than that, no problems.

If you take a truth and follow it blindly, it will become a Falsehood and you a Fanatic.

I would suggest you have separate partitions.

I would go so far as to recommend putting each OS on a separate hard drive.

It is not necessary, but it could make your life easier.

Shouldn't have any problems....I am currently dual booting with 2000 and ME and haven't seen any. I would definitely recommend separate partitions though, it will avoid most of the potential issues.

Where's the any key?
