Why have two operating systems ?

[Guest eXistenZ]

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.

One reason might be to have one OS as the working system,

the other as the experimental system. However, unless this

is a laptop, having two exchangeable disks would be a

more robust solution.

Can you suggest how the experimental disk might be returned to it's

initail state, or to the same state as the reference disk?
