install the oldest os first and the latest os last. i know that's the rule for dual booting. but i got another question. my C: is bigger than D: and say i want the latest os been installed in C: right? (assume that i am too lazy to change the primary master and slave and bring the bigger drive to D
.
can we install the older os to D: and then install the latest os in C:?
that's my simple question. anyone tried it out before? thanks.
if anyone havent i will try it out myself and let u guys know...
it shouldn't matter
during NT setup, it scans every volume and looks for windows installs and automatically adds them to boot.ini , so you theretically could have two installs of windows on C: , one in \WinNT and the other in \Windows , not a good idea for obvious reasons, but they would both still be bootable
if you were installing 9x and nt dual boot, you'd have to install 9x first, but i've never seen the order matter if you are doing 2 NT os's
