W2K & XP on Same Machine?
What size for each partition should I make on an 80 Gig HDD for both
Win2K pro & XP operating systems? I'm thinking about 15 gig for each with extended partitions for data of equal sizes for each. I would like to keep the os partitions a small as possible. I have a Packard-Bell Easynote Laptop F0336-V-089 with Intel Celeron MCU 440 @ 1.86 GHZ processor with 2 gig of memory. I loaded Win2K but ran into driver problems so I guess I will have to load XP. A cd with XP & Vista drivers came with the laptop. I would like to still use my old HP flatbed scanner that won't run with XP so I guess I will need to load Win2K also. Any suggestions to achieve this will be appreciated. JPC |

I would go 20 for xp and 15 for w2k In any case it will work What software are you using for the process |
