We recently purchased I-DEAS CAD software which requires WinNT to run. Being CAD operator, I'm the one who should change his OS. I'm get used to Win98 and don't want to migrate fully to NT. So, is it possible to run both Win98 and WinNT on the same machine (from two different partitions, of course)? Does WinNT have a boot manager like OS/2 had? Do you know any sharware/freeware boot managers that can do the job? I hope someone here could answer this. Thank you very much..:-) Selçuk

(...) Yep, doing it right now on 3 different machines. One machine, in fact, has Windows Millenium, WinNT 4 (workstation), WinNT 4 (server), and Windows 2000 (advanced server) on it... There are some partitioning issues you'll be faced with, and you (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
