There is an old game I want to play, called Betrayal At Krondor, that refuses to run on windows XP due to it's 16 bit nature. Oh, and the fact that it is a DOS game. So instead of booting up my old machine that's locked deep away in my closet and switching back and forth from it to my main, I think it would easier to just have two operating systems on this computer. However, I'm not entirely sure how to do that. I know some of you guys have done it before and was wondering if I could get a little advice.

QUOTE (zetec @ Mar 3 2006, 06:05 PM)  you'd probably have to resize your XP partition, since 95 only supports FAT16 (I think FAT32 was introduced in 98), and editing partition sizes (especially under windows) is NOT for the faint of heart. Chances are you don't have any unpartitioned space just lying around.I actually believe later versions of Win95 supported FAT32. Win98 included a FAT32 convertor though. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM) Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!
