Dual booting is simply the practice of
installing two operating systems on one hard drive. The technique is pretty
straight-forward as, basically, all you are doing is installing one operating
system after another. However, there is one golden rule. And that is: you should
always install the oldest operating system first. In other words, if you wanted
to say install Windows XP and Windows ME you should first install Windows ME and
then install Windows XP. Each system, of course, would be running on a separate
partition; the actual partitioning being sorted out during installation.
As an alternative, you could use third
party partitioning software such as Partition Magic, but partitioning is just as
easily accomplished while installing Windows XP.
When installing any operating system,
whether as a single boot or dual boot system, always endeavor to have all
necessary drivers that you may require to hand.
