Hey Gang, I am wondering about what I thought was going to be a simple issue but maybe not so simple after all.
I need to have Win98 SE, Win2K Pro, and WinXP Pro, all on the same system. Originally, I thought I read in the Microsoft tech info that if I installed 98 first, then 2K next, and finally XP, and put each in a separate partition, that I would be able to have a tripe boot option system. But I am wondering if I read or misread that. Also, since I will be having an extended partition as well, for Dos and other logical drives. I need for all partitions to be visible, no matter which OS is booted currently. I have no intentition in ever using NTFS again, unless maybe under threat of death, so that should not be an issue (the reason is for another email I will be posting). I am doing work in each OS for various people, which is the reason I need to have all three (and Dos) on the same machine. Boot Magic and similar seem to work their magic by making one partition the active primary and the other partitions non-active and effectively invisable - NOT the state I want to end up in. Other than what I thought I read about a triple boot option, which hopefully is true (but might not be), I understand that there are some utilities or settings that can be used with XP to will accomplish what I want - any ideas, sugguestions, or ideas???
