Multi-Boot puzzler??

by jeffedit . Updated 18 years, 5 months ago

At least it is for me…here’s the deal.
I have a laptop that I use for work and home.
I made 3 partitions on the drive. Partition “A” is for work, partition “B” is for home and partition “C” is common to both to store data on. “My documents” from from both partitions points to that one. I did a XP image restore for the first partition, and then using “BootIt” multi-boot software, copied that partition and created the second partition for the other XP Boot. In BootIt,
I do a swap and hide the partition that I’m not using. What I don’t understand is that if I change the network settings, (name, domain etc) on the work partition, it changes on the home partition as well and vice-versa. How are they connected when I have 2 separate partitions running 2 different XP installations? Everything else appears normal, ie different programs, desktop image etc in each partition.
I want them totally independent, which is what I thought I was doing. Thanks in advance.
