[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 1015751, member: 325666"] Spent many hours trying to multiboot the various windows OS .. Many refusals ..many failures .. Mainly due to windows restrictions and limitations .. Well I have had some success at last insofaras .. I have a triple boot option up and running .. Win98SE or Win2000 ..or XPpro at boot time with GAG .. see photo .. I can select any one of the three with a single button press 2/3 or 4 ..and it does work an so far is stable. I may well try for a 4th and build same on another drive to include win95 This may or may not be successful .. The real issues start when DOS based OS are included .. nonetheless I count this as a success .. afaik ..4 will be the limit due to MBR restrictions .. but remember .. I also have a SCSI card ..which will boot hard drives prior to IDE so maybe I can get DOS and 3.1 in that way ..?? afterall ..they dont use much HD space .. I'd need to get my hands on a larger scsi drive than the 2gb one I have ..but maybe is do-able.. rgds VS[ATTACH=full]107069[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
