Hello,
I would like to create a dual boot with Windows XP Home and Pro edition. The PC I will use for that already run the home edition. I bougth a new disk to install the Pro edition. As this is the first time for me to do that, could someone indicate the different steps I need to execute?
What I plan to do is the following:
1. Connect the new disk as slave
2. Partition it: 2 partitions, one for the Windows XP pro and one for the data
Now starts my doubt:
a. should I insert the Windows XP pro CD in the CDROM and then reboot on it?
b. should I insert the Windows XP pro CD in the CDROM and execute the installation from the Windows Home environment?
I would appreciate if someone can help.
