just a wild guess,i have a maxtor HDD and wheh i first instaled it i remember using a piece of software that came with it and was for partitioning the new...
... Basically there is a way to do it. It's risky, but will probably work. Do a full defrag. With the right options you should manage to move all the files to...

During the last week I have made three partitions, two with W98, one blank for later use. Yesterday, I went out and bought XP Home UG, Installed this over the...
I understand that it is ppossible to boot dos and windows 9x from a second hard drive using xosl, but does it work for Windows 2000. Has anyone done this? ...
... So how does this answer the question? Are you saying that you moved partitions around or changed their sizes without any reinstallation? That is what the...
Hi there! i'm just an advanced(??) and curios(!) user still on my road to a perfect and nifty system, no wonder that xosl came across. hum, would just be too...
Hallo, a friend of mine want to install on 2 different primary partitions 2 independent Windows XP HomeEdition. Well, he bought a Computer with installed XP....
... Alex, Yes, you can have two XP installations, but you can't merely clone one partition to another without a little editting. First, XP keeps track of which...
... I don't know, but I recall a similar problem when I tried installing XOSL on a partition that was too small. Have you tried increasing the size of the...
hi Dan, checked this out immediately : changed the size of my xosl-partition to 62.7 or 70.6mb (automatically sized by partition magic then) (and remembered i...
Don't forget that on your Dell Optiplex you may need to change a BIOS setting to get XOSL working properly, assuming the installation problem is solved. See...
Hello! I have both WinMe and Linux setup on two seperate partitions and I use xosl as the boot manager. I was planning on upgrading WinMe to Windows 2000. Is...
... Where is XOSL currently installed -- in the ME partition or in its own partition? The Win2K installation routine will overwrite the MBR and thus disable...
... I don't believe you can *upgrade* from WinME to W2k. Strictly speaking, that is. Though of course you can delete any OS you like and install any in its...
... Well, I'm assuming Microsoft hasn't changed their high-handed ways since Win9x. It's been long known that Win9x has a habit of rewriting the MBR with a...
... I've installed w2k three times since I installed GRUB during my Linux installation. GRUB is still there directing the mbr. When I select the w2k from the...
... I recently setup XOSL on one of my home computers to so I could test somethings with it and noticed that NT and Windows XP didn't trash a pre-XOSL...
Replying to my original posting, this is my current setup: Disk 1 - 29306 MB ... C: Disk5part00 14,653.0 MB FAT32 D: Disk5Part01 14,645.2 MB FAT32 Disk 2 -...
... Well, that settles it then. This and Steve's msg prove NT/2K/XP are not as bad about imposing themselves on the MBR as Win9x was. I wonder how NT/2K/XP...
... It was a virgin HD when I first installed w2k. I used the w2k setup utilities to partition and NTFS format the drive prior to the actual OS install. I...
XOSL does not natively support CD booting even if your BIOS does, but it comes bundled with SBM to add this feature. I have this currently working on one of...
... This is a problem specifically with SBM and low-end RAID chipsets. SBM installs itself to track 0 of the hard drive, which allows it to not require a...
... Ah ha! Thanks for the info Phil, I was curious to what was causing the problem. In my case I've simply allowed booting from the CDROM in BIOS, before it...
