Couple of Win2k questions

DiscoStu · 31-12-2000 02:10AM #1

Ok here goes.

1. Can a dual boot system running Win2k and WinME be run of the one hard drive partition?

2. If the answer to the above is no, is it possible to install Win2k onto a FAT32 partition or will it have to be an NTFS partition?

Cheers

I tried this before and it worked(ish) The only problem I had was if you install both OS's on the same partition, its fine that Win2k installs into c:\WinNT and WinME installs into c:\Windows. The problem is that they'll share the same c:\Program Files\ folder and this can cause problems. See how it goes for you, maybe I just installed something strange.

I have win2k and win98se on separate partitions but they both share c:\programs folders, no probs here. You just have to install some things in each os which is a bit annoying

Well you could change the program files path with a wee registry 'hack' can't you?

Or you could just change the path file to somethign else no?

Vincent · 01-01-2001 02:44PM

I dont think u need to do any hacking

Brothers, despense with the win 9x. Win2k is the truth and the light. Yeay! For it is running on my box for 3 weeks without a reboot and yeay! though apps may hang, win2k keeps on trucking.

amp: For I am the truth and the light and an MCSE :P
