Re: Advice on 2nd XP on same box

Of course you actually need two licences to run two instances of winxp on
the same PC, and you may have problems activating winxp.
Installing properly written apps should have very little impact on
performance, attempting to run multiple apps at the same time might have an
impact if your hw isnt up to it

then insert your windows

carefully read the setup
screens to ensure you
select the right disk/free
space it searches for.

afterwards, the setup
will produce a dual
boot menu which will
allow you to select
either o.s. to launch.

later you can tweak the
boot.ini file and rename
the descriptions to something
like old win. and new win.

Thank you I'll give that a go.
