Dual Os
This is a discussion about Dual Os in the Windows Software category; I have a question on setting up Two Operating systems. From a Base 30 Gig drive should i partition it in 2 or should i partition 2 6 gig partitions for the os's and the rest for programs? Also why do you need seperate partitions for each operating system what problems could i have?.

Having partitions is mainly for protection. For example say you have 4 partitions.
2 Partitions are used for OS's
1 for apps and games
1 one for MP3's and videos
and as we all know hard drives can go bad and get corrupted quite frequently. But with seperate partitions you will most probably only lose 1 partition and the other 3 will be intact.
Plus they can be different formats IE your win2k isntallation can be on a NTFS partition making it much more secure and customizable, while ur 9X based operating system is installed on the default fat32 format.
Those are the main advantages.
