Hi Tristram,
Thats good advice. Would it be easier if I had each operating system on
separate hard drives?
I seem to remember from somewhere that I can install software which will
give me two options on boot-up, e.g. 98 or xp. I understand that Jaws won't
load untill windows is loaded, but could it be set up so that pressing 1
would boot into 98 and 2 into xp or whatever?
