Dual Boot Change

Hi,

I use dual boot system. It is very time consuming to restart my computer every time I have to change to another OS. So was curious if there is a way to change OS in dual boot systems without having to restart the system. Thanks.

Love Is.....

you could give this method a try, although it does mention a restart to achieve the process: http://300allpctips.blogspot.com/2009/07/quickly-switching-between-different.html

no,one os needs to be shut down first
3rd party program will only shut os down faster ,other os will load the same as now .

with windows 7 pro,enterprise or ultimate versions only . you can run winxp mode and switch between the 2 with out a restart ,you can even copy and paste between the 2
