Windows 2003 Dual Boot

Expand Post »
I currently have 2 partitions: Win XP & Win ME & use Boot Magic for boot up. I was wondering if i could do a clean install of windows 2003 over windows ME, having Win XP & Win2003 as dual boot without any problems, would i have to remove bootmagic first? I aint taking no risks with this, it screwed me up before.

HEHEH the only way I know of to not take risks is to clone the drive before you do it, and do the upgrade on the cloned drive. Let us know how it goes.

clean install of windows 2003 over windows ME=== thats a play on words ,clean install over Me !you do mean format the partition that me is on and install win2003 right !
I have never tried this but computers are suppost be challengeing aren't they !go for it and have fun ,nothing a clean install won't fix.

Re: Windows 2003 Dual Boot

thats right -> format the win ME partition & install 2003. Partitioning, merging & all is a dangerous game, but u aint gonna know if it works unless u try it shouldnt be a problem tho, im hoping.
