dual boot question

ive read a lot about dual boot and the advantages of. My question is once i have partitioned hd, installed xp twice etc, how do i select which one boots when i switch on.

A daft question i know but my young children use the computer a lot and it must be easy for them to use.

Thanks

Re: dual boot question

you should get the option to which one you boot in to at the boot sequence i.e. safe mode xp mode or what ever operating system you have installed


hope this helps

If it dont fit...force it. If ya cant force it...get a bigger hammer. If it breaks...it probably needed replacing anyway.
