    Possible to setup dual boot with HP XP recovery CDs?

    Hi, Wolluf, linney and those who helped, I was back here late but indeed came back with some positive news, although time did not allow me to achieve more on the "recovery CD" method, due to some reasons. I should say I have long owed Wullrf a credit for suggesting to me his modified, but...

    Possible to setup dual boot with HP XP recovery CDs?

    Thanks both of you for keeping me up in this discovery path, although I still believe that the "recovery CD" method made the "after" situation more complex than not. In reality many more people today still have the concern over how to keep fully installed/configured XP while adding a Win98/ME...

    Linnery, you were probably not. I got some intermediate result which can be looked at a bit. But I found Wolluf's scheme attractive as it would not only help verify whether Doug Knox's limitations can be worked around to achieve more result or for different configuration, but would also prove...

    Possible to setup dual boot with HP XP recovery CDs?

    Wolluf: So nice to have your delibration here again. A few clarifications please. That info-link procedure was the one I had tried earlier and did not yield a positive result. I did not really follow at the time that the conditions for the XP partiiton/drive to be 1) FAT, and 2) C:. And all that...

    Happy new year and many thanks for the hints/leads extended here to those who not only helped myself but also others consistently. Being a bit surprised that few people seemed to present similar difficulty I had, I would still like to post some notes here I collected which might be useful to...

    Possible to setup dual boot with HP XP recovery CDs?

    Thanks bcastner for the pointing! I am kind of insensative to western names but the stuff under that site was exactly what I tried a couple of days ago. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I believe that everyone's "shoes" could be slightly different; sometimes to work out something away from...

    OK. Ignore the request --- I just realized after posting it that this Doug should be a writer somewhere outside this group. Thanks anyway.

    Possible to setup dual boot with HP XP recovery CDs?

    Hello, Greg. I guess you meant Doug Knox's previous posts re this issue, or, he'd be able to answer such a question. Being kind of new around here, I tried to search under this name, but only hit those by the name of Doug Trocino, mostly on database. Furthermore, Doug is a staff whose profile is...

    Possible to setup dual boot with HP XP recovery CDs?

    Appreciated your quick feedback, jimp56. I checked relevant FAQ and did locate one similar case, which revealed some IDE controller settings issue. As for the standard (clean) install, I believed that HP made this intentionally one has to go their way (in the install path, HD preparation is...

    Possible to setup dual boot with HP XP recovery CDs?

    Would like some help on how to dual boot both W98SE and WinXP Home, with two HDs containing respective OS. Tried to follow all the basic rules but maybe the problem started with my HP Pavillion PC's WinXP recovery CDs. This set always partitions out a 4.6 GB diagnostic area and then installs...
