2 XP OS on one PC-different drives

OK, thanks.

 

Worked, thanks to everyone who helped.

 

This may come to you late but here goes. I have several 500 gig hard drive formatted with several different O/S installed; windows XP Pro 32 bit Sp 3, XP Pro 64 bit Sp 2, and Win 7. All will operate using the same utilities that come with your Motherboard. I think the Win 7 is also 64 bit. I have 10 partitions on each of the 500 gig with a different security system on each of the partitions. With this setup I can insert another computers HDD into a removable slot (installed in the computer case) and then use the security on each partition to check for infections. All I need to do is reboot and select which partition/security system I want to use.

This may help you resolve the problem you are having, if any. If you need to contact me, edited by ddp

 

ooo.. anybody smell that?>.. 5 partitions per physical device max

old A8N from Asus eh?.. damn that's an antique from the middle of the bad caps days.. I know.. I've got a K8N and it's dying.. fast for 2004 but win7?.. seriously???.. give it up and buy something that isn't a dead end bad caps antique, first of the dual cores might just about handle it.. but I reckon anything 2002-6 vintage will have bad caps and all kinds of other hardware bugs by now.. so installing and running pretty much anything will be random hit n miss pure luck.. so it's probably not malware causing these bugs, more likely broken software resulting from a bad ram address or a cap spluttering at a non terminal point during install but hey.. try running the result.. heh heh heh

Trust me.. I'm the old hardware genius round these parts. I bring em back from the dead.. literally.. but some are really dead.. Asus x8N series are not worth the effort.. Mines holding up my 6 year older laptop in the bedroom
