How to create Dual windows operating system

The creation of Dual operating System is extremely and easy option. First get the Hardisk ready with its partitions. Usually if its a 80GB HDD then partition C: 10 GB FAT32 D:20 GB FAT32 E:20 GB FAT32 F: 20 GB FAT32 G: 10GB FAT32.
After the HDD is partitioned use the bootdisk of Windows 98/ME to boot and start setup. Use installation directory as C:\Wndows no trouble. Finish your win98/ME installation.
Then use your WinXp , Boot cd recommended On boot choose D: as your installation directory. Jobs done. Your system will have dual booting option. This post is outdated cause nowadays The Motherboards do not support Win98/ME.
Similar way can used for vista too with some changes
In Windows Vista you require a minimum of 40GB partition for its installation. So i recommend a minimum of 160GB harddrive
partition C: 40 GB NTFS D: 40GB NTFS E: 40GB NTFS f:40GB NTFS
boot it initially with the WinXp boot Disk. finish your installation. then install Vista in D:
Its recommended to use NTFS cause winXp will not format in FAT32 format for more than 20gb.
Happy usage
