(continued...) In my case a 12Gb disk was cleared and two full, operational, networked installations of both Windows 98 and 2K were created in one evening.
A supplied WarpDrive utility provides a succinct view of installed applications and drivers, identifies missing device drivers and provides web site locations for possible updates.
Double clicking an icon within the top half of the HyperOs My Other Computers window then simply reboots the machine into the relevant installation.
Except where formats are unsupported such as NTFS from with 98, every partition remains visible and accessible from each other.
Ideally data is located on a dedicated partition or server.
HyperOs neatly handles drive letter mapping, even managing to share the swap and paging file space on the C boot partition between all the 'computers'.
This helps minimise the volume of data that needs to be imaged for back-ups.
Back-up images of my clean Win2K installs were created to a local partition in 4 minutes and a network location over a 10Mbps network in 17 minutes.
As local images appear in the lower half of the HyperOs window, a double click rapidly restores them to their original location or else they can be dragged onto any other partition as a duplicate.
Each computer can be locked to avoid inadvertent changes.
