Harddrive duel boot?

[sonic]

Hey ctjoyce or anyone else, My wife and I both have our games I have my fs9 Chronicles or Riddick, combat sim 3 etc.... She has her the sims 2 all are big I dont like seeing her stuff and she dont like mine lol anyway is there a way to add another harddrive and boot into hers or mine kinda like 2 computers in one.

What are we talking about here? Two completely different operateing systems? That is something you can do. Or are we talking A secondary drive for the wife, that is also very doable. Adding a second drive as a storage drive is very fast and easy. Just pop in another drive, format it, and away you go. Now if you are talking about two XP instalations, one computer two drives, this is where it gets complicated. You need to setup a bootloader, which can be very daunting.

Yea thats what I meant  :( her having her own drive and me have my own drive and choose what one to boot into.

How about individual log-ins ?  XP is good for that. You'd have your own desktops, documents, favorites, etc...  And with permissions, you wouldn't be able to run, let alone see, eachothers stuff.

Yea, throw a second drive in there for the extra storage, but having two seperate accounts is the best way to do it. If for some reason your bootloader fails, you could be stuck without a computer (given you don't have a OS disk).

Seriously though, make her her own account, and remind her that boys don't have coudies.
