Longhorn Install
I got home from the PDC all excited to install my copy of Longhorn only to realize that the “recommendation” was to install it on a clean partition (which makes sense because of the WinFS). Well I, like most people, only have one machine at home and I wasn’t willing to trade my WinXP system for an Alpha of Longhorn. I tried to find a suitable machine at work but could only come up with an old Dell Optiplex P3 500 with an old TNT2 16MB card. Needless to say Longhorn was a dog on this setup. Then it hit me… I run SCSI drives on my system at home! So how does this help? Well I created my own little dual boot system by throwing an old 6.4GB Quantum Fireball I had laying around into my system and switching the boot order. So when I want my WinXP system I set the bios to boot SCSI first, if I want Longhorn I just switch the boot order to IDE first. This works perfectly! The interesting thing though is that I can see all disks in both setups. I thought XP wouldn’t be able to recognize the Longhorn drive because of WinFS but it can see and browse everything.
So now I have my Longhorn box all ready to go! Now I just have to find out why none of my other devices found valid drivers (even my Ethernet card couldn’t install).
