I presently have Windows XP installed on my C Drive as my one and only OS. In my second drive I would like to install Windows Vista, basically to compare it with XP. By installing it onto my second drive, will the installation automatically give me a dual boot option? or does this only occur when you install on same drive in different partitions.
How big is your main C: drive ? Vista is not like XP now, it takes allot of ram and hard disk space.. you have too have 1 gig of ram , just to start with. and you will need a special boot loader for both drives..
Like I said, I want to install it onto the 2nd drive which is approx 70 gig. I have heard before about the boot loader and did have the address where to download, can you advise on this please. I want to keep the sencond OS, ie Vista on the 2nd drive just incase of problems.
For dual booting :OSL2000 Boot Manager - An Advanced Multi Boot Manager Like I said, Do you have enough ram to push VISTA ???
In XP, load the Setup program of Vista. Choose new install (instead of upgrade) and install it on the 2nd HD. Dual-booting should be set automatically.
