Hi everybody! I hope someone can give me an opinion on this. I'm doing a dual boot of Win 98 and Win XP. I did two partitions. However, my supervisor (suppose to be a greater techie) doesn't like to have two partitions eventhough I have showed him the microsoft article on it. He says it's complicated with two partitions. I use more than two partitions on big hard drives at home and never run into any complications. What is the logic behind the one big partition? can anyone explain it to me? thanks.

Dual Boot Win XP and Win 98 on one partition?

Some reading above. Your boss would be in a minority, but hey, he is the boss.
There's no logic to one partition with 2 operating systems - they interfere with each other - which is why EVERYBODY with any experience recommends separate partitions (even M$!). Let your supervisor support the single partition dual boot if he's so sure of it.
