Just got a laptop for service tech work for the job. Came with XP on it.
However, a few of the critical apps we use for AV servicing *require* either Win2K or Win98, and will not talk to some of our gear if run on XP (I know, I've tried, even with the compatibility modes).
So I'm wondering a couple of things...
1) Should I set this up to dual boot 2K Pro and XP Pro?
or
2) Should I set this up to dual boot 98SE and XP Pro?
And finally,... how?
I've got partition magic, and have already split the 30GB drive into 3 partitions (XP, the other OS, and data). But I'm wondering about installing 2K (or 98) now... will doing so break the XP installation? And if so, is there a reliable way to restore it? And will I end up with the dual-boot option I'm counting on?
This gets into some things I've never done on a laptop, so I'm leery of screwing something up. My searches on the internet haven't turned up much on the topic. Hope this is the right place to inquire...
Thanks,
