Is dual boot for WinME and Win2000 feasible and/or recommendable for the

home user? I'm almost certain it is feasible, but is it recommendable also?

Ubuntu and WinME don't seem to like each other, at least in my case.

Adding Win2000 would give me additional opportunities I would like to have.

Any and all comments are welcome, thank you.

Re: Dual Boot for WinME and Win2000?

 

Using a third party boot manager such as BING allows virtually any OS to

multi-boot with another. The only limit being the number of OSs and

partitions on your hard drive and BING can handle up to, I think, 256

partitions although, of course, only four primary or three primary and an

extended partition can appear in the partition table at any one time.

Thank you Mike.

Even though your reply doesn't provide the direct answer to my question, it

brings me to my follow-up question:

Before installing Win2000 on the second drive with a yet "unallocated" file

system (unformatted), should the drive be partitioned and formatted

beforehand, or can this be done during installation?

I have PM8, including BootMagic, installed to help me with the dual boot, as

well as with any partitioning or other related problems, should they arise.

Re: Dual Boot for WinME and Win2000?

 

How you install your second OS is up to you entirely and yes, I answered

your question which was "is dual boot for Win Me and Window 2000

feasible?" mentioning that IMO the best method of so doing is to use a

third party boot manager. I also stated (by implication) that Ubuntu and

Win Me could be dual booted on the same system. As to your second

question whether I would recommend this for a home user, I intentionally

chose not to answer leaving that for you to decide for yourself. The term

home user covers a wide range of skills with many happily multi-booting

several OSs whilst others can barely use the one they have.

 

I have not used Boot Magic as a boot manager for about 8 years so am

unwilling to comment on how best to use this boot manager. I don't recall

PM's capabilities and have never used PM8 (it might have been PM6 I last

used) however I have a rule that I never allow any OS to see another using

my boot manager to either hide or remove from the partition table

partitions containing other OSs. I also tend to install into partitions

that I have already created but whether I format first or not depends on

the OS I am installing and I cannot recall the options available when

installing W2K. This may have changed but one feature of Boot Magic that

I did not like was that to use it it was installed on a partition

containing an operating system meaning that that partition has always to

be present although I'm guessing one could also boot from a floppy,

whereas a boot manager such as BING can be installed in its own 8MB

partition meaning that no OS is dependent on the presence of any other

partition with even the BING partition being hidden or removed from the

partition table when running the OS.

That covers it quite well, Mike, thank you.

I will be able to figure the rest out myself on hand of your descriptions.

Since I was unable to simply 'run' ubuntu under WinME, let alone installing

it,

I have decided in favor of W2k.

Thanks again.

Do you have all your W2K drivers? If so, there really isn't any need for

Win Me as W2K is a far superior product.

It's not a question of superiority, Alias. To burn an iso image file with a

free burner, I need W2k, because it will not work under ME. Once W2k is

installed, I will be able to burn the image for the mini installation of

ubuntu to CD and, hence, finally install ubuntu on my machine. As you can

see, I haven't given up on it, just chosen a different route.

What is it I need to know about the W2k drivers?

??? You want to install Windows 2000 just to burn an ISO image with

your CD burner? Why can't you do this with Windows ME? Might be easier

to try different burning software instead of installing a different OS.

Thanks for that one, John, I looked all over the internet and the best I

could come up with was the 'FinalBurner', which will not work with ME but

W2k.

Am downloading your's now and will let you know how I made out in the end.

All indications are, you saved my day, John.

This excursion was well worth it.

Now I will put this thing to work and when it's all said and done, let you

know

how I made out.

Thanks a million.

Another one here that should work:

If you find that these burners don't work it could be an ASPI driver

problem.

That's where my problems start, Alias, I thought you were up-to-date on my

situation, but that's not the case. As a matter of fact I have the two

latest versions at my disposal, but I can't run them, because of the

screwed-up desktop image.

The security catalog file of the disk is branded as "invalid" in my system.

When I tried to install the 'mini version' of ubuntu, I encountered two

errors, forcing me to abandon the installation and being fortunate not to

have had major problems:

1. my network hardware could not be detected and

2. out of all available mirror archives none was to be found for me.

In the forum I was advised to "Burn the ISO Image" to CD instead of the

"Data".

Hence my attempts to obtain the free burner.

Adaptec CD Creator is in my reservoir, but it can only create data and audio

cd's.

On top of it there seems to be a conflict between Adaptec and DeepBurner,

with me probably having to uninstall Adaptec first.

I'll have to work that out.

Re: Dual Boot for WinME and Win2000?

 

Thanks John. The problem seems to be a conflict between my Adaptec CD

Creator and the DeepBurner. When I get to the 'burn iso' situation, I have

only the 'erase' button available, the 'cancel' and 'burn iso' buttons are

grayed out.

I suspect that's because of 'Adaptec'.

I am downloading and will install and try your second offer.

Hoping to succeed in the end.

 

Harry.

Re: Dual Boot for WinME and Win2000?

 

Harry

 

Are the two copies of Ubuntu that you possess both ISO images?

Or are you trying to make an ISO image from the CD's?

Can you supply a link to the forum that says

'Burn the ISO Image'?

Re: Dual Boot for WinME and Win2000?

 

Harry......Adaptec is horribly outdated. What version do you have?? 3

or 4?? Dump it and get Nero or Roxio (Roxio bought out Adaptec eons

ago). I happen to use both of them, but you have to buy them.

 

I think you are going to mess up again if you get into this ISO

business. Just use WinME and leave that other weirdo Ubuntu stuff

alone. You seem to have a *black cloud* over your head when it comes to

computers, grin.

 

Heather, wondering why in hell you need two Operating Systems on that

old machine......

Re: Dual Boot for WinME and Win2000?

 

George, I just finished 'burning' the 'mini iso' image to CD with

'DeepBurner'.

After downloading the second offering from John, I went back to DeepBurner

and whooallaa, it worked. I did get the 'iso' image for the

mini-installation from the ubuntu forum, since I couldn't get the 'live' CD

from Ubuntu to work.

Now I have the CD I am supposed to have, according to opinions in the forum

and will proceed to install ubuntu and see if it will work.

Will let you know later if it did - or not (no way).\

 

Harry.

Re: Dual Boot for WinME and Win2000?

 

I would prefer if you kept 'your opinion' to yourself, Heather, at least

when it's negative. I happen to be 'mostly' optimistic.

There are no problems with 'Adaptec' and as far as 'Ubuntu' is concerned,

I plan to 'make it work', like it or not.

I am sure greatful for the magnificent support I've found, here and with the

ubuntu forum. Don't worry about 'any' clouds, dark or otherwise, please.

Everything is working like clockwork on this machine (knock on wood?).

I happen to be "honest"......not negative. Adaptec is so out of date,

it is pitiful. I had it on my WinME computer.....it came with it 7.5

years ago. Is that a clue?? I then put Roxio 6 on that one. Worked

way better.

 

But you never listen to reason and seem to love to mess up your

computer, so just keep on doing what you do best.....LOL.

Which isn't what you have said on more than one occasion in this thread.

Adaptec have had nothing to do with Easy CD Creator or CD burning for many

years so if you are using CD software from Adaptec is it outdated and

severely limited in functionality such a being unlikely to support CD and

DVD burning hardware marketed in the last five years or more. For example

even the most basic and rudimentary of modern CD burning applications

includes the ability to burn iso files which are simply disk images.

Re: Dual Boot for WinME and Win2000?

 

Harry, if its not too late - just a little reminder of the message I posted

to you a while ago (15th July) when you were first considering installing

Ububtu :-

 

"Harry, - if you're watching - DON'T go the two disk (dual boot) route. Just

start with an old 'spare' (hard drive) in place of the existing (known good

and working) C: and don't even consider a second disk at this stage! You can

easily replace the disk if Ubuntu goes pear-shaped and you'll have your

(WinMe) system back."

 

My experience was a PITA trying to regain my WinMe HDD back from the Dual

Boot utility.

Re: Dual Boot for WinME and Win2000?

 

 

Not to worry, Mart, I don't plan to do 'anything' foolish and I remember

your post, but I am proceeding much more cautiously.

I just discovered something, which may keep me from advancing any further

with my attempts to install Ubuntu on my machine, as is.

I may decide to install W2k, or leave things exactly the way they are, but

as of now: no ubuntu on this machine (sorry about that, Alias).

Thanks for your concern, Mart, it's very much appreciated.

 

Harry.

Re: Dual Boot for WinME and Win2000?

 

Sorry you think that way, Mike. You may think it's factual, but it isn't,

with reference to your first reply and as for this one, my Adaptec works as

good as any other utility in this category and I got the DeepBurner working

right beside it

Whatever happened before, was not Adaptec's fault, but merely a learning

experience. Why can't you be happy that things are 'on track' now for me,

instead of bringing up remembrances of things past, which aren't worth

talking about,

unless they would help to make things better?

That includes your "Sidekick".

 

Harry.
