Hi all,

I'm here to ask for a solution.

I have three HDD, two of which have two different operating systems (two Windows 7) and independent, third is "empty" (No OS, data only).

How can I have two installations (in both systems), referring to the third HDD and then a single data source?
So when I change on a system, I am ready for the changes in the second system.

Thanks in advance,
Dreeg

Up..

I would install fresh copies to both systems, copy one of the MySQL data folders and htdocs over to the 3rd system, then edit the preferences for the .ini and .conf files on each system.

I need to copy ONLY the MySQL?
I also need to share files (htdocs folder)..

That is what I stated above.

I'm sorry, I missed reading it.
I will try in the next few days, thanks a lot!

htdocs is ok.
MySQL no, I change the parameters but does not start the service.

Are you trying to start it AS a service or you can't start MySQL? Are you sure you only moved the data over and edited the .ini correctly?

Yes, I'm sure.
I tried to start MySQL in XAMPP Control Panel and from Services (Windows tool).

Nothing... error.
