最簡單是 install bootstar and do the partition
現在做的方法是
1. 1 TB harddisk,
2. boot from a USB stick with DOS based bootstar
3. make the first partition
4. install whatever OS you want
5. boot again from the USB stick, start bootstar
6. install additional partition and create boot profile (remember under PC, you can only have 4 primary partitions, or 3 P + 1 extended, etc.)
7. For other systems, it depends.
My XP is a cloned copy from my old machine. I use Acronis True Image
My Vista needs a fresh installation, but can clone from other copy
Windows 7 needs fresh installation, cannot clone
8. Remember to make sure the order of the partition for proper boot.
For XP, edit the file boot.ini in the root directory (hidden)
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
9. once finished, you can have as many boot profiles as you like.
In my case, I have a boot menu like this
Ubuntu
Windows XP
Windows 7
Windows Vista
Windows XP (backup)
Hactintosh is booted from Windows XP boot menu.
I have been a bit lazy now. Try to save the cloned copy and recovery to other partition as needed. |
