Dual Booting / Multi Booting :
- Installing more than one O.S ( ex: Windows XP and Windows 2003 ) in one HDD.
Example:
- HDD has four partition ( C: , D: , E: , and F: )
- Drive "C" has some important data.
- Now you want to install Windows 2003 O.S in the same HDD, without loss of Data and exited O.S ( Windows XP )
- NOTE: It is not recommended to install two O.S ( Ex: Windows XP and Windows 7 ) in one partition ( C drive ).
Reason:
- If you install any Windows O.S on partition ( C: Drive )
- It will automatically create three folders
- 1.Windows : It contains O.S files.
- 2.Documents and Settings : It contains user's profile and desktop settings.
- 3.Program files : It will contains file software which installed in that O.S
- If you install one more O.S ( Ex: Windows 2003 ) in the same partition , that O.S also create same folder , so it overwrite previous folders and existed O.S may damage.
- It is recommended to install one more O.S ( Ex: Windows 2003 ) on other partition ( D: , E: , F: )
Example : HDD has Windows XP O.S , Now you want to install Windows 2003 O.S
- Change the First Boot Device as " CDROM " in the BIOS Setup
