Dual boot, NT4.0 over win2k?

ryoko
I installed win2000 on a system with nt4 to create a dual boot, and that worked fine. Now I need to install NT4 on a win2k pc to make a dual boot system. Since nt4 is older, will it still work or do I have to manually modify the win2000 boot.

Yo, where is my command prompt?

Greg S Trouw
What has Microsoft done with the command prompt? I STILL like to use a command line interface at times for things, and though MS is merging both Windows families in winXP (though even 9x had a DOS prompt), the entry on my start menu for the command prompt present in win2k, and winXP up through RC1 seems gone.
