I have an sbs 2003 box and want to install a dual boot manager (free version) on it so I can dual boot between sbs 2003 and xp pro. The sbs box has 3 internal hard drives so the first could be partitioned.

I need a free boot manager program and instructions on how to install this.

I want to run the xp pro as a workgroup and use it as a file and print server and still be able to boot in sbs 2003 for training purposes.

many thanks in advance.

Please email me at bldsm@paradise.net.nz

thanks but I have already. I have vmw server 2.0 running on my sbs box and ubtuntu and xp pro both running on virtual machines. Using ubuntu I can see all other mshome computers and their files but cannot see back towards the VMW because sbs 2003 is on a domain and no one machine I have has xp pro.

thanks - when i first loaded sbs 2003 I had trouble with the boot.ini but didn't realise at the time what it did. That explains it. I didn't realise that I could just do as you suggest with the same result. I will try it.
