Can I run two hard drives with diferent operating systems???

[Testosterone boy]

This computer runs XP. I bought a commercail printer that runs some funtions on 98 and 2000, for the cost of upgrading it, $180, I could buy an enormous hard drive and use my 98 disc.

Whats the scoop? Disaster?

It's called dual boot. Involves partitioning your hard drive. Lost yet?

I can not afford problems, my computer is instrumental to the business and deadlines are common.

A one day computer melt down is not worth $70 of frustration and anxiety to me.

Your 2000 drivers may work in XP. Look for an updated driver. If this is critical to your business then don’t screw around. Keep a second machine running 98/2000 dedicated to the printer if you have to and hook it up via wireless. Make it a print server of a sort.

Just found that the drivers do not go past 98.

Epson does not have driver downloads for Adobe RIP, one must buy it for about $180.
