Hi All
My main OS is Windows Server 2008 which i runt he normal stuff on, web development, DB etc, but i also want to do a Dual Boot with Windows Server 2003 or a Vista Lite purely for gaming … ?
Does anyone have any advice how best to do this and in what order etc ?
Many thanks
Whitetime 😯
I think its best to install 2003 first, and then make fresh install of 2008.You will be able to select the os at boot.
Hi Sawo
Thanks for that … Would it be possible then to partition my HDD eg: c: & d:
C: = 200GB Main OS
D: = 50GB Game OS
and install windows 2003 to the d: partition first and then windows server to the c: partition … ? Having never done a dual boot before, just want to figure out best solution.
Many Thanks
Yeah, that should work, but i think 200GB is way too much for system drive.
Maybe something like this is better:
C: 20GB main os
D: 20GB second os
E: 210GB storage
i made with nlite xp with diff dirs that server use
and then i have them both at the same partion 🙂
