i have two HDDs, both 160gigs, one PATA and the other SATA. will be booting from the SATA disk, and will use the PATA for storage. Here are my questions -
1>can i have two Win XP installations on the SATA disk on two different partitions? one installation will be used by my family, this will have all the necessary apps for everyday requirement. The other installation will be only used by me, this will be a test bed for new apps and beta versions, and other non-mainstream apps.(so even in case i screw up, the other installation can be used, after editing the boot file)
2>in XP, if i have utorrent running, and log off from my account, can other users still use the net?
3>i want to dual boot between XP and Linux, but in case i screw up while using Linux, can i still access XP? this is important for me since i download all my stuff in Windows.
so u see, what i actually need is XP+XP+Linux booting, with the first XP installation accessible at all times. Is this possible??
