Hard Drive Partition Question
I was wondering if it mattered where I placed my hard drive partition when I install Windows XP Beta2. I've read the documentation that came with Partition Magic 6, and it says that alot of OS's want their partition on the primary drive and in the first 2.
I was wondering if it mattered where I placed my hard drive partition when I install Windows XP Beta2. I've read the documentation that came with Partition Magic 6, and it says that alot of OS's want their partition on the primary drive and in the first 2.0 GB of it. Do I need to do this with XP, or is it more like Linux and does not care where it is at?
I was thinking of making a 5 GB partition for XP to test it first and see what works and what doesn't, then I may eventually install it over my Win 2k installation. Thanks in advance.
