triple boot!!!

[jamyang312]

hey can we have 3 os on one computer like win xp on c:\,win 98 on d:\, and linux on e:\ on one hard disk? why/why not?

 

[vinayasurya]

Yes, you can have more than two OSes no probs if properly done.

 

[amitgg]

ya sure

suppose you install 98 on C: and xp on D: then you get boot menu of windows at startup to choose a windows version to start.

Now u install linux on E: then u get boot menu of linux at startup to choose the os to start.

alternatively, you can try boot loader softwares like www.xosl.org

U can hv as many OS installed on ur HDD as u want!
Also check this thread:

more than one os bad for pc?

 

[abhishek_734]

it is also possible to install win 98 and win xp on the same partition.

 

[Vishal Gupta]

Its possible! But not advised...
Better to install on separate partitions.

 

[abracadabra]

you can have more than three OSes installed in your comp. Lyk 2 Flavours of LinuX OSes, 2 Windows OSes

 

[jamyang312]

won't there be any problems?
like if a spyware or worm enters so will it effect every win os i have?

 

[vandit]

it is unlikely that all will get affected.... but if u have only one OS and it gets affected then what will ya do?? it is better to have 2..
