Didn't know about the dual boot
I may want to keep the dual boot for a while, so I don't have to reinstall everything I have on the win98 system.
How does the dual boot work?
Will it ask which OS I want to boot to each time I boot up, or is there a default ( that I can change later)?
I assume that when I boot into XPpro I will have all of the features of XPpro (like dual processor support)
How much disk space will XP need?
BTW, this is on a new MOBO
Forgot to say.
I'm doing this with a new motherboard.
So win98se will have to find the new drivers for the motherboard ( controllers etc) , and then XP will also , :flames:
Will have to get the win98 working first
If the upgrade to xp is not all that difficult then I may not need the dual boot setup.
I thought some programs install differently for xp then win98, so I would probably uninstall some and then reinstall after xp is up.
I will have to get the win98 working with the new MOBO before I get to the XP install.
In the past installing over an older OS kept parts of the old OS while installing from scratch gave an all new OS. Thats how it was when installing 98 over 95. Is there anything similiar with XP over 98?
