It's not a great idea for music though, as it will be higher latency for inputs, which can be a pain for direct recording and midi. Dan |

Load Windows 98 on the primary, then from Windows 98 stick in your XP CD and run setup from within 98. Reject the prompts to upgrade and tell it you want to do a new installation, selecting the second partition as the target. I'm pretty sure that if you do this from Windows 98, it will edit the boot.ini file for you. If it doesn't, open your boot.ini in notepad from the Windows 98 once XP is installed, and cut and paste it into as post here, we will edit it for you. |
