OK, my setup right now:
C: NTFS primary partion with Windows XP Pro and apps
D: NTFS partition for data
H: NTFS primary partition (empty at the moment)
I plan on doing a second XP install to H: partition this weekend.
Questions for after I'm done:
1) When I boot into H: will it the appear as my C: drive?
2) If I'm running the H: XP install, can I delete or reformat the C: partition without problems? In other words, can I move back to a single install and pick which one I want to keep?
3) Can I do a third, fourth, etc. install as long as I have space?
4) Can a second (or 3rd, if allowed) install be done by restoring a Ghost image of my present C: partition to a different (primary) partition and setting it as the active partition?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
