Actually there's a patch out for TD to run it on XP. I dunno if there is one for RA1 though, altho I know it is possible to do it (or so Gilbear tells me)

If I still had my RA1 cds (they're dead) i'd check the movies, but i guess i'll just take your word for it. If the final movie was in London then how does the RA2 storyline make sense?
That was either Allied victory or my theory of a third storyline in which the USA helps out.

i always thought it went like this.
In CNC GDI won and used the ion cannon on Kane and the effect of it didn't kill him, but sent him back in time. In RA1 the soviets won, and since Kane announced Stalin to be dead, the allies rallied with high morale and won the war that they had lost. TS was when Kane is back in the future, he is fused with tiberium to be a mutant. RA2 is just the result of RA1 only in the near future.
Generals is OUR story only fictional....
EDIT: ow and try partition magic to play the older games on XP...works for me...(pretty sure LAN worked too..)

The sending back in time would be unlikely.

and so would the infestation of tiberium 
fact is, everyone has a different point, you have to ask around to get the definite storyline

For those people who don't understand that you might have tried explaining, which is what i'll do.
First of all don't use Partition Magic, it's crap.
Secondly what i think you mean is install another version of Windows on another partition which is not recommended for 9x on a secondary partition unless the 2000/XP partition is NTFS (if not you can convert it by opening a command prompt and typing "convert C: /FS:NTFS")
I recommend using BootIt NG for all partition work.
Installing any version of Windows 9x is easy on a secondary partition as long as the primary one is NTFS and the secondary one (the one you're installing it on) is FAT or FAT32. It's just a matter of running the 9x installer and picking C:Windows to install to, as the 9x installer can't see the NTFS partition, your files will be safe.

I prefer making it so that both OSs can see both partitions.
This is complicated so bare with me. This may not work with WinXP ...I don't know, because I've never setup WinXP in a dual boot configuration.
First of all, it is best to start out with an unpartitioned hard drive disk (HDD).
You can use the FDISK and FORMAT ultilites found on a Win98 boot disk to make partition(s) and to format the partitions.
Make a primary partition as FAT16 or FAT32. (Most people will want to use FAT32, one reason being that FAT16 only allows partitions up to 2GB.) You can also make an extened partition and assign it multiple logical drive letters, but leave part of the HDD unpartitioned for now, you will use it for Win2k later.
Use Format to format the partition(s) that you just made.
Now install Windows 9x (Win95, Win98, Win ME; I recommend Win98se).
Once you have sucessfully installed Win9x, you can install Win2k.
In Win9x you can put in the Win2k CD-ROM. You want to install it to a new partition.
You want to use the unpartitioned space of your HDD to make a partition for Win2k. You most likely want to make it be FAT32. Now just continue with the install of Win2k. It should automatically make it so that you get a menu to choose between booting into Win9x and Win2k.
I think that is it. I'm tiredm so I may have forgotten something...

You really shouldn't get just one site....it could be wrong. Get a multiple amount and see which one makes the most sense or the most common one...

Actually by far the best way to do a dual boot with an NT variation (NT/2000/XP) and 9x is to install the NT one first in NTFS then the 9x one in FAT/FAT32 the reason for this is that the NT one has a special bootloader (NTLDR) that will mess up your 9x configuration if not done correctly. Windows NT cannot boot from a secondary partition, although neither can 9x but 9x can't see the NTFS partition so it will not boot from it.
To see NTFS partitions in 9x get a driver for NTFS, one of these can be found at Sysinternals Software. There are others though.

actually, I install 9x first then 2000, works fine
so does partition magic, use it all the time, aslong as you use a version that suports the size of the drive you resizing or creating, IE, PM5 only works upto 8 gig drives, and i've tested PM7 on upto 60 gig partiotions, on 120 gig drives.
all worked fine.only time they ever gone wrong was on PM5, when i was resizing a drive bigger than 8gig. PM7 has never failed me yet. i resised, creted deleted, moved partitions about 20 times + on my old drive. i still got all the information i didn't delete on purpose. except when windows XP deleted itself after i upgraded my graphics card.
