Using Partition Magic

[jeanpierre]

Hi:

I currentl have partition my HD to Windows XP and Red Hat Linux.

Can I use Partition Magic to create space for a third OS - Windows 2000?

Thanks

JP

Assuming you've used all space for XP & Linux - you can use PM to shrink existing partition (probably XP) to make space for win2000. But, you'll need to be careful when installing it as it will overwrite XP's boot files and make XP unbootable if you don't hide the XP partition while installing 2000 (normally 2000 first XP second). I know PM inclides Boot Magic too - which I've not used - but may have tools for this. Also, let win2k installation actually create & format the partition its being installed into - don't use PM ahead of time to do this - potential problems.

Ps. You don't say how you're multi-booting now - lilo?
