280zwitha383 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Ok, here's a simple answer to your question. Make two partitions, put your personal OS and software on D: and your kids or whoever on C:. This way when the memory hogs install something it will naturally go to the C: drive which has all of their crap on it. You will need a partition selector program(I can't think of a good one). Your OS WILL run faster and you will be happier. I'm off to defragment my hard drive now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(goldfish) Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 You will need seperate OS installs, One on each partion. Just to clairify 280zwitha383's reply. I would not trust seperate users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mike Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 LOL... You did the right thing, (goldfish). It's just that multiple cooks tend to confuse the stew:wink: I could consolidate all this into one simple post but I'll leave that to you. HINT: Multiple partitions and boot utilities (or BIOS settings) It was prob'ly good enough, but I'm in the mindset of dealing w/ morons at work today.

mjfawke Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 MS VirtualPC 2004 is now a free download... I'm using this to test some software under XP/SP2 while still running our SOE of XP/SP1 as the host OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
