I want to add a plug for a product called Partition Magic. It allows you to
partition a single disk into 4 major partitions of which 3 can be
system/boot partitions. The remaining 1, 2 or 3 partitions would be
logical/data partitions which can be sub-partitioned into D:, E:, F:,…
drives. Each of these subpartitions can be formatted differently (FAT16,
FAT32, NTFS). This allows a system partition for NT4, W2K and XP as well as
some shared data space. This completely hides the different OS’s from each
other and there is no chance of an install of one messing with the other(s).
In addition this product allows easy reallocation of partition sizes after
the OS’s are installed so if your 3 meg NT4 partition needs to grow, you
just move a slider bar and let it do its thing.
I’m not in anyway associated with Partition Magic. Just a very impressed
customer. I know there are competitors which I cannot speak to. It has made
my job much easier.

Subject: [ntdev] RE: Can Windows 2000 and Windows XP co-exist on the s

not a whole lot
of cash, so why bother with this crap? Just make the first
partition a 4GB
partition for the hideous NT4 and a couple of 20GBs for w2k
and xp, and have
about 50GB left over for whatever your heart desires.-----Original Message-----

of release
(nt4->W2K->XP) and you really, really want to have a
different partition for
each OS. Be very careful with large disks and NT4 as it has
‘issues’. I
recently did this to a test system, in order to have
nt4/w2k/xp available
and went through absolute hell on the nt4 install. W2k and XP
were strictly
no problem.-----Original Message-----

I have NT4, 2000 and XP all on the same box, but each in it’s
own partition.
I would install 2000 before installing XP. -billBill Christie, Software Engineer
