Personal server Set up the full Raiders (05)

Server | Personal Server | Introduction The computer can be set to choose between two or more operating systems each time it restarts. For example, you can set up your server to run Windows SQL Server Most of the time, but sometimes you run Windows NT Server 4.0 to support early applications. To do this, however, you need to select a specific file system and may require the latest Service Pack. During the reboot process, these options will remain for a certain amount of time to make a choice between the two systems. During the reboot process, if no selection is made, the default operating system is run.
§ If you install your computer to include Windows 2000 and any other operating system, you must place Windows 2000 on a separate partition on your computer. This ensures that Windows 2000 does not overwrite critical files that are required by other operating systems.
§ The reason you set up your computer to choose between more than two operating systems at startup is to allow users to use applications that run only on a specific operating system. However, there are some drawbacks to setting up your computer: Each operating system consumes a lot of disk space and complicates compatibility issues, especially file system compatibility. In addition, dynamic disk formats do not work on multiple operating systems. You can access the hard disk using dynamic disk format only if you are running the Windows 2000 operating system separately.
§ If you are considering installing a computer that contains more than one operating system, to ensure that there is always a way to start your computer (regardless of whether the driver or disk has a problem), the first thing to consider is the various recovery features available to Windows 2000. One of these features is Safe mode, in which Windows 2000 restarts with default settings and a minimum number of drivers. With various other recovery features in safe mode, there is no need to maintain multiple operating systems as a security measure to prevent system problems. Avoiding multiple operating systems means that file system compatibility issues and other drawbacks are also avoided.
Multiple-boot operating systems can be implemented with Windows 2000 and issues to be aware of when implemented
1. Windows NT 4.0§ do not use only the NTFS file system on computers that contain Windows 2000 and Windows NT.
§ Ensure that Windows NT 4.0 has been updated with the latest version of the Service Pack.
§ Install each operating system on a separate drive or partition.
§ When performing a new installation of Windows Server (unlike an upgrade), it is installed on a partition that has no other operating system, by default. During the installation process, you can specify a different partition.
§ Do not install Windows 2000 on a compressed drive unless the drive is compressed with the NTFS file system compression feature.
Installs the applications they use on the partitions on which each system resides. If you want your program to run on more than one operating system, you need to install these programs separately on each operating system partition.
§ If your computer is in a Windows NT or Windows 2000 domain, you must use a different computer name for each Windows NT 4.0 Server or Windows Server installation of your computer.
