The next suggestion for
using multiple operating systems is to help you safely migrate from one
operating system to the next. How many here use win95 as their main operating
system? A few hands. How many use Win98 as your operating system? That seems
to be the most of us. What about the WinMe operating system? Again, only a
few hands. Windows Me is the latest version of the Win95/98/Me family of
operating systems and have the latest technology included in it. It is the
version that many of us may want to move to in the future. Our concern is how
to do this safely. Let me tell you how this can be done.
First, you create a second
empty primary partition on your first hard drive using PartitionMagic. We are
going to install WinMe in this empty partition in two steps. The first step
is to use PartitionMagic to copy your entire Win98 partition into the empty
partition. Then, you will install WinMe on top of this copy. You still have
your current Win98 system in the first primary partition and WinMe in the
second primary partition. You can quickly switch between the two to test out
your applications.
