Dual booting allows you to install two or more operating system on the same machine.
It is ideal for testing other operating systems, without deleting the original.

As a rule, the older operating system should be installed first, e.g. Install Windows 98 before you install Windows 2000.
If dual-booting with non-Windows operating systems, e.g. Linux, install the Microsoft system first.

You must
Ensure that the file-systems are compatible.
If using Windows NT 4.0 with NTFS 5.0, upgrade NT 4.0 to Service Pack 4.
If you are dual-booting between Windows 9x and 2000, ensure that the boot partition remains FAT or FAT32, otherwise you will be unable to boot into Windows 9x.

When dual-booting between different operating systems a boot-menu is created. From the boot-menu you may select which operating system to boot.
