    Can anyone think of a way to multiboot

    Dos
    3.11
    98
    ME
    NT
    2k

    ?

    I know the others are all fine, it's really ME and 98 I want to get together. ME will only really be for testing.

    any help?

    System commander or some such boot manager.

    hmmm, if it's a proggie, it'd have to be freeware. Co, are notoriously thight fisted, especially with things that are not essential (like a machine for testing if the product is compliant with certain OS's or being able to emulate a client's problem accurately (!!!). I've been using my imagination for the NT and 2k questions so far!)

    Why in gods name would you want 3.11?

    I suppose what you could do is..

    1. DOS
    2. Use Dos boot manager to install 3.11
    3. Install 98 (to seperate directory
    4. Install ME to seperate Drive.
    5. Install NT to seperate Drive.
    6. Install W2K to seperate drive.

    I would recommend this for compliancy testing though as I wouldn't trust 98,ME to not contaminte each other.

    im sure theres no way to dual boot ME/98 as there both based on the same kernel and during the install you should get an error saying no way man.
    unless you manually installed both a created exact images of each being installed and then extracted the images onto diferrent partitions and then edit the boot.ini file to find the second os or even use a boot manager..that may work.
