I was unable to XOSL to install.
Just gave me a message saying error.
This is what I am attempting to do now.
1.) Install XP on the second HDD. Make sure it functions correctly.
2.) Remove that HDD from the system.
3.) Install XP on the first HDD, allowing the first 30MB partition for Boot
Magic.
4.) I will then put the second HDD into the system.
5.) Install PM8 and Boot Magic.
Hopefully this will work.


Tyler,

Please report, how did it work out? Send me an e-mail as I am
attempting to do the same thing (Setting up an install to test out some
software before I apply it to my system - yet retain the usability of
the current operating system.)

Thanks,

Nate
