- I have a few questions about the NT beta that I would like to resolve
- before I receive my copy. First of all, since it ships on cd, I am going
- to have to get my hands on a cd-rom player for while. I can't afford to
- buy one right now, so I am going to see if I can borrow one from work. If
- I can't do that, I need to know the answers to some questions:
-
- 1) I have two hard disks right now (200MB primary, 120MB secondary). I
- would like to keep my normal stuff on the primary and put NT on the
- secondary. Will I have a problem booting NT if it isn't my first hard disk?
-
- 2) If NT is on my first hard disk, have they supplied a little program that
- lets me choose whether to boot dos or NT?
-
- 3) After popping the cd in the drive, will it appear just like another dos
- partition, or is there a special disk to access the data on the cd. Reason
- being that I would like to dump the cd onto my hard disk to enable me to
- install NT away from a cd-rom drive (as well as faster).
