installing W2K pro Question
I'm planning to install W2K pro on a Partitioned and formatted to FAT 32 third disk drive,
the reason for doing this is,
in case of catastrophic disk drive failure<
(or MBR corruption) of the drive where I boot from.
Now my question is: Will I be able to boot to this drive in case the MBR of my main OS (W2K Pro) is corrupted,
and will it write to the MBR my newly installed OS (in this case a second W2K pro) and most of all will this plan work, for the reason that I've stated!
