Be careful when trying to go dual boot with already EXISTING OS installations!

Without some changes, you might mess up booting one of them AT ALL!

You can dual boot to Linux, which SH3 runs in very well (with PlayOnLinux) - I use it for mod development.

Well, I am not so an expert when it comes to Linux. I was talking about Windows, and I am almost sure GT 182 is using Windows, because of another threat.

It is nice to hear about the possibility to run SH3 in Linux environment. I will look further into that... Thank you for the hint.

Danasan, I'm running my XP HDD as a slave. When I installed 8.1 on the new HDD I remember seeing something somewhere about doing a setup for Dual Boot. Never tried it tho. I'd still like to try it someday, so thanks for the Dual Boot link. But for now XP running as a Slave is working ok.

SH3, 4, and 5 are still on it the XP drive. And SH3 is modded with GWX 2.1.
