How to load a dual system into a partition

When installing dual systems, the general method of newspapers and magazines introduces each system to separate independent partitions to avoid mutual influence and unnecessary trouble. For example, Windows 98 is installed on the C drive, and Windows XP is installed on the D drive. So, can a dual system be installed in a partition or a hard disk without partitions? After trying, I found that a partitioned dual system is actually feasible, and interested friends may wish to try.

Install Windows 98 first, then install Windows XP in Windows 98. It is important to note that when installing, choose a new installation. In the installation options dialog box, click the "Advanced" option, and then select a new path, such as C: winxp, and do not use the default windows directory, otherwise the Windows 98 file with the same name will be overwritten, causing problems. Skip the upgrade to NTFS step. After a while, Windows XP installation is complete, restart, and found that the computer automatically enters Windows XP, the dual boot menu does not appear at all, open the C drive, point & ldquo; tools & rarr; folder options → view → display all files And the folder & rdquo;, found that the files needed to achieve dual boot are present, it seems that the problem is not serious, find BOOT.INI, right click, select "properties", cancel "ld read only" and then open it, Edit it again:

[boot loader]

timeout=30

default=C:

[operating systems]

C :="Microsoft Windows"

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINXP="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

Save, Restart The computer, the dual boot menu appears, try to enter the two systems separately, without any problems, the installation is successful.
