Dual Boot vs. Updating
|
|
|
| I have read that if you install Win2K in the same dir as the current OS then the setting and applications will be taken over but if you install it in a diffferent directory you will be able to dual boot.
But when another OS is on the System you get an error message by the installation (SU0168 I believe) which tells you there is already an operating system present please go buy the upgrade. Are you forced to go buy the upgrade or delete the old OS?

| If you are installing while you are in an OS, it wants to upgrade. If you boot into a setup, you usually have a choice of upgrading (if there is an existing) or installing. If you install into the existing OS system, you are upgrading. If you install into another folder, you are installing a second OS. Depending on the OSs, you might have to make some boot changes in order to dual boot.
Bottom line read the instructions/research the installation options.
