Ok, don't laugh me off the forum.... I have a really stupid question.
I'm trying to re-set up my computer. After reading the advice here on double booting, and the best way to do it, I upgraded to XP. When I installed XP, I did the "new install" and broke my HD into partitions. My intent is to have a double boot ..XP,XP. ... trying to do what I thought was best ... to use a discrete partition on my computer for my recording. And most importantly be able to tweak the OS on that partition for optimum recording performance.....
So, now my dumb question, As I said before, I went out and bought XP, installed it and have the "C" (home computer) partition set up. Now, do I have to go out and buy another copy of XP for my other (recording) partition?
When I read the license stuff on my XP, that is what it sounds like.
If I install the copy that I have now on the recording partition, am I going to have to guard the doors and post centuries.... lay awake at night worrying about Microsoft storm troopers surrounding the house? Not being able to get updates etc....?
Be gentle
