    8:01 the vista installation detected ntldr (the boot loader 2000 and xp use), but starting with vista windows uses bootmgr and i think it just places bootmgr (the newer windows boot loader) on the partition with the existing installations, and bootmgr allows you to go to ntldr under "earlier version of windows" 19:29 the MBR partition scheme only supports 4 primary partitions, and you've used all of them up by this point, though you could've made the 4th one an extended partition with multiple logical drives and potentially install other versions of windows but i'm not sure how well that would work, if at all

    You're the pro-version of me. I installed all Windows versions as a VM and you installed them on a physical PC. Anyway gave you a sub.

    guess who made it into the youtube algorithim

    you could likely install everything from 3.1 to 10 on a single computer using just three partitions - one fat16 partition for dos, 3.1 and 95 - one fat32 partition for 98 and me - one ntfs partition for 2000-10

    I felt just as much disappointment as you when Windows 2000 blue screened after installing all those other OSes, great video!

    This was really nice! I kinda want to do a triple boot of Windows XP, 7 and 10 on a X58 motherboard and i7-920 that I managed to pick up recently. Out of interest, what specs are the machine used for this test? I reckon Windows 7 was probably the best OS for your machine, with Windows XP not being too bad either if you installed all of the drivers.

    19:20 it's because you have the max number of PRIMARY partitions. however, if you create a LOGICAL partition from diskmgmt, you can have as many as your hard drive can handle. try it next

    If you use extended partitions you can get more versions installed. I currently have xp-10 dual booted on my laptop

    Maybe at some day you have to revisit the 5 counts - Vista and above boot fine from extended partitions - Windows 8 and above can boot from a VHD file stored on a NTFS partition, as long as the free space on the NTFS partition is more than the maximum allowed grow size of the VHD. It can even install directly to a VHD file if during setup you open cmd window and mount one with DISKPART. (I used this sometimes to install another Windows version on a machine without repartitioning to test driver support). - I believe Windows 2000 can also dual-boot with DOS; and from DOS you can start Windows 1.0 to Windows ME all installed on a single FAT partition. - If you start with Windows 8 (or 7 unofficially) you can install in UEFI mode on GPT Partition which has no limit of primary or extended partitions (other than free disk space)

    Man that’s a lot of operating systems for a single hard drive
