Multiple boot question: Win2K

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup_upgrade (More info?)

Hello,

I recently installed Win xp Home on a laptop which already
contained Win 2K. I suffered a lot of pain from it, but
now I was able to get Win2K started again and made it my
default OS.

Question: How do I figure out whether the two are properly
partitioned?
If they're not, how may I go about doing that?

Thanx,
Gouaf

One of the best tools out in the market is call Partition
Magic. That would make your process of partition a
disk,very easy.

By default Windows XP installs into the 'windows directory' and Windows 2000
into the 'winnt' directory. Do they exist on the same or separate
partitions?
