gemini_shooter Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Hi !I have a testing machine and it has three OS's installed on it ..... Windows 2000 pro .. Win xp pro and Windows 2003 -- web serverI wanted to upgrade that Web server to a standard server .... but the only way to do it is to make a new installation ...... my question was that if I go ahead with a new installation of the standard server will if affect the boot.ini ..... and will I still be able to multiboot to any of the three OS's .... I already have backups created but would created on another machine ....This machine has a primary drive split into three partations and and each has one OS installed on it .....Would I be able to go ahead and make a new installation of Windows 2003 standard ..... and not kill the multiboot that already exists ...

Takeshi Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 The new install only adds a new entry to the boot.ini if you don't delete the other two. In any case you can easily repair it with the Recovery Console. No big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
