hello

I would like dual booting. The first would be unchanged from C:\ , WIN XP Home + SP1 system, and the second would be from an external Seagate HDD N:\ , WIN XP Home + SP2 system
Before I get into problems, How can I make sure Bios would accept that, and where can I get the info or test from?
For transfer, I can use a ghost 9.0 copy previously made

thanks

The boot info will be added to your C drive, just plugin the usb drive boot with your CD and during the setup process you can pick the drive to install XP just pick your USB drive. I don't think you need to alter anything in the bios I could be wrong but if you try this you'll soon find out.

I've never attempted this as it would be better to buy a new hdd and install it in your PC and have a dual boot system that way.
