Hello all,
Gigabyte RZ series mobo, 512MB memory.
New 200Gig SATA drive.
I have Drive Image and PM8.
Will partition the drive into 8-10 partitions.
I wish to install the following:
Dos 6.22 - first primary partition
W2000 - second primary partition
WXP - third primary partitio - for normal use
then extended logical partions for
WXP - extended logical partition - for video and music.
the other partitions for music files, install CDs, images
Maybe a Linux distro at some future date.
Could someone help me with the installation process please.
I've done dual boot W98 with W2000/XP in the past using MS boot loader
but don't want to use it this time.
Would prefer a 3rd party boot loader ala XOSL.
I've read all I can about loading multiple OSes, but the Goodsells and
Reuel's instructions just confuse me no end.
When they start talking about changing values in Boot Sectors etc, my
eyes glaze and a cold sweat breaks out.
I do want to keep all OS partitions as C: and all other partition
letters the same for all the different OSes.
All data and page/swap files will be on a separate HDD
If someone could walk me through the process, I would be most
grateful.
Regards
