How many versions of WINDOWS can you DUAL BOOT at ONCE? Lets find out! Enjoyed the video? Leave a like! Have something to say? Leave a comment! Wanna see more? Subscribe! Twitter: @jiga_64
8:01 the vista installation detected ntldr (the boot loader 2000 and xp use), but starting with vista windows uses bootmgr and i think it just places bootmgr (the newer windows boot loader) on the partition with the existing installations, and bootmgr allows you to go to ntldr under "earlier version of windows" 19:29 the MBR partition scheme only supports 4 primary partitions, and you've used all of them up by this point, though you could've made the 4th one an extended partition with multiple logical drives and potentially install other versions of windows but i'm not sure how well that would work, if at all
@@Happigail_Adams That would be cool, sadly it's a laptop :( People have done it with desktops though! Looks like 2000 and XP need a seperate HDD since 2000 doesn't like Windows Vista and newer
Hello! I am the 1000th subscriber! I clicked on this video and saw: 999 subscribers. I knew what I had to do. Congratulation for your 1000 subscribers!
This was really nice! I kinda want to do a triple boot of Windows XP, 7 and 10 on a X58 motherboard and i7-920 that I managed to pick up recently. Out of interest, what specs are the machine used for this test? I reckon Windows 7 was probably the best OS for your machine, with Windows XP not being too bad either if you installed all of the drivers.
Maybe at some day you have to revisit the 5 counts - Vista and above boot fine from extended partitions - Windows 8 and above can boot from a VHD file stored on a NTFS partition, as long as the free space on the NTFS partition is more than the maximum allowed grow size of the VHD. It can even install directly to a VHD file if during setup you open cmd window and mount one with DISKPART. (I used this sometimes to install another Windows version on a machine without repartitioning to test driver support). - I believe Windows 2000 can also dual-boot with DOS; and from DOS you can start Windows 1.0 to Windows ME all installed on a single FAT partition. - If you start with Windows 8 (or 7 unofficially) you can install in UEFI mode on GPT Partition which has no limit of primary or extended partitions (other than free disk space)
you could likely install everything from 3.1 to 10 on a single computer using just three partitions - one fat16 partition for dos, 3.1 and 95 - one fat32 partition for 98 and me - one ntfs partition for 2000-10
19:20 it's because you have the max number of PRIMARY partitions. however, if you create a LOGICAL partition from diskmgmt, you can have as many as your hard drive can handle. try it next
It's not necessarily dual booting as you have 4 OSes shown on the w10 install screen but that's a lot of time for an experiment. I wonder if with extended partitions you could have windows 95 to windows 10!
Here's how you could've also added Windows 10: you can use some tools like AOMEI wizard which will allow you create more partitions and will work just fine.
My experience with Windows ended at Win98. I used XP for a short time to test it out, but I don't really count that because it was just a couple of months and since then I've been Linux only. I've never tried to dual boot multiple Windows' versions, so I didn't even know it was possible, but you can make your life a whole lot easier by just using a good OS instead.
This tutorial is not fully correct. Since it's MBR you can only boot 4 versions (because the maximum number of partitions allowed is 4) but you could use GPT and with that you can boot up to 256 different OS (the maximum number would be much more, but Windows only supports up to 256 partitions). The disadvantage is that only Windows Vista (or 7) or greater support this, and requires a UEFI BIOS. GPT (GUID partition table) has a big advantage: you don't need to have active partitions: every partition is bootable. Some years ago I tried this and I could boot 10 different OS with no problems. (As I said I could have done much better, but I think it's still a great result).
I once tried doing that but I was insane and actually started with MS-DOS and Windows 3.x, 9x and NT 3.x. that didn't go well. Windows 2000 installer straight up told me that I won't be able to boot OSes earlier than NT 4 because they are no longer supported. Or something like that. I might have mixed up some details.
you can't dual boot on one partition with the newer versions of windows because all of their files is the same name so it won't work like everyone said mbr drives can't have more than 4 partitions idk about gpt but ik it can have a lot and you can't use gpt because old versions of windows don't support gpt drives so you need more drives to continue
Use diskpart to clean your drives if you get stuck or you see Windows can't be installed on a GPT format only MBR is for all operating systems. You can Google this information if you need. Good luck oh really recommend a 20TB drive for everything that's your best bet which I will update mine to soon.
Replace the drive's I have added XP recently installing it through the same way a tech would from the boot menu. Since its an older Os it works great. Remember to get the driver pack DVD to activate your services like internet. I have now XP-11 and Linux except I'd recommend a larger HDD for installation of all operating systems. XP software uses basic CD-R discs to burn programs too and the other OS use DVD-R discs to burn software to. Good luck my friend. P.s. what I did for all six OS was just what I'm leaving you here. Just remember to boot from the boot menu and select wherever your CD-ROM ls listed. If you have issues use diskpart to clean all your drives via list disk then select disk 0 or 1 and 2 etc. Then type clean all to start over. John Reissiger
Man I really wanted to do this, but my laptop (my only computer) is legacy bios so i can't do more than 4 partitions Edit: WAIT WHAT YOU CAN FIT MUTIPLES OS' ON ONE PARTITION HUH WHAT Edit 2: nvm?
You technically can for older versions of windows that don’t use image based deployment. What I’m saying is that you can make an extended partition that looks like a primary partition, but you can put any number of logical partitions inside that extended partition.

I once dual booted 9 Linux distros on one machine. Other than that, I knew that one big partition was a bad idea instantly.

you can also connect virtual hard disks [vhds] which means you can do more than 5 systems
I don't think it will show up during installation and the boot manager screen

If you use extended partitions you can get more versions installed. I currently have xp-10 dual booted on my laptop

If you use different partitions, you can install them without issue.
What is that sound in the background when you say that windows 2000 has no quick format? is it water?

You can do more then 5 partitions, you need one primary partition and one extended partition hosting more partitions. MBR can only handle 4 partitions

need to retry this maybe, if you put in 2 disks you could probably do double the amount of OSes

If you have a UEFI Enabled system use GPT to have 128 partitions in Windows
A better word for 'dual-booting' in this case would be 'multi-booting'.
When I tried to install Windows XP Professional on my first computer it took forever to format the disk.
Use diskpart to clean your drives if you get stuck or you see Windows can't be installed on a GPT format only MBR is for all operating systems. You can Google this information if you need.

you can have more than 4 partitions if you make 3 primary partitions and 1 extended partition with an infinite number of logical drives.
