I think I did good. But I am having problems, like the wireless not connecting properly, it comes and goes when ever it feels like.

and the D Drive does not work... even though there is a CD in the Drive. (Vista recognizes it but XP does not.)

I will be soon getting a Windows 95 installation Disc, and possibly Ubuntu if I can get it to work. Ubuntu was my first choice. But was not working out all to well..

So I got WinXP Home Edition SP2 up and running. It runs smoothly but I have not fully gone into it. Tried to play Pinball and the graphics went down into 8bit, instead of staying in 32bit.

But This sure was a project, and Win95 is going to be another project. (Cant wait to play Descent! {Grin} )

aww really {Sad}

What it is, is you can install another OS's within your own computer.

This will explain it more then I can.

So in other words dual boot {Unsure}

not exactly. I have Ubuntu Dual Booted, but I have WinXP directly on my computer. The "C" Drive is located in my documents. (Its not a real HD, it's just a virtual one)

Like a Virtual Disk drive allows you to have multiple CD Drives for certain files, that need a few disk drives to run a program.
