RE: Re: Dual Boot Hard Drive Switch

["BUTLER, Tony, FM" <tony.butler@xxxxxxx>]

Running multiple versions of the SAME O/S is probably ok, but I know ppl

Windoze
decides to move a device to a different IRQ for some reason, it can screw
up
your other carefully set up configuration when you boot into it.....
