Title Dual booting Windows NT and QNX4
Ref. No. QNX.000004123
Category(ies) Installation
Issue We have a desktop QNX system.  We want to keep the QNX OS but to also add Windows NT.
 
Where are the instructions for creating a dual-boot system?
 
By "dual-boot" we want to boot up the PC and have the option of running QNX or Windows NT.


Solution Simply install Windows NT first, then QNX (remember QNX must be below 1024 cylinders to boot).  QNX will automatically boot from power up. But during the QNX boot up a
message saying "Booting from Partition X" will appear (X being the number of the QNX partition), if at this point you hit the number of the NT partition, NT will boot.
