Best Advice Ever: RTFM
instead of having 2 installs of the same OS, why not just make 2 separate hardware profiles, one for music with everything that you dont want on and one for everyday use
It's in the root of C: like I said...
C:\boot.ini
It might be a hidden file but I don't think it is. Just go to 'start, run' then type C:\boot.ini, press ok and it should open in notepad.
Personally if I was going to install a dual boot windows system, I would create 2 partitions on the first drive, install one copy of XP on each partition, and then use the second drive as a dedicated audio drive. That way you would not ever be using the same drive to run your OS and record audio
*sigh*ppl. what you are doing makes absolutely zero sense.
Amen to that. I wouldn't go down the 'two installs' route at all but if I did, your way makes much more sense.
Just disable the network card or the modem in the second install of XP. It won't affect the first one.
This all seems like overkill where a little knowledge of the computer would go a long way.
The answer is NORTON GHOST. Cost about $65 at Best Buy.
Nothing could be better.
you click and the backup image is restored over your C-drive. No trace of the disaster remains. Next, all prim and proper, ready to go again, like nothing happened.
Setting up 2 hardware profiles is great and fine unless you use a USB keyboard.![]()
In fact, almost all alternatives to Symantec/Norton products seem to me to be.
Just enable 'Legacy USB support' in the BIOS. What's the problem?
