Guest eXistenZ Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 A recent post: I am looking for information that will show me how to build multiple installations (2 minimum) of Windows 2000 Professional on the same physical disk (multi-boot). I need the option to choose which installation I will boot from when I start the CPU. ------------------------------------- Can someone explain why some people want 2 installations of the same OS. eXistenZ

Can you suggest how the experimental disk might be returned to it's initail state, or to the same state as the reference disk? RL
