[nycbug-talk] Dual boot IBM thinkpad T40?

[Freeman, Joshua]

but but.. I don't think you understood my question Josh.

The laptop came with XP Pro on it with a certain Product Key/Serial Number. But.. Since I bought this with my employers $$ and my employer has its own Product Key for XP Pro my thinking is first I'll format the drive, then re-install OUR XP Pro, and all the other stuff we install like NAV, Office, Spybot, etc... 

THEN

I'll shrink the partition etc... From your email it sounds like I'd have two installs of XP Pro on the drive...

I'd shrink the partitions first, install WinXP onto the new smaller 
partition, then install FreeBSD onto the unused partition.
