Happenstance Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Thought id give Vista a try so im gonna install it on my backup partition. Thing is though ive never had 2 OS' before on my pc so I dont really know how to do it. Is it just directing Vista to install on the partition or is there more to it?

Sanchez Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Vista should detect xp on a different hard drive(partition) and set up the boot sequence so you can choose between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happenstance Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Ah thats ok then, my partition has got just over 30GB so I can keep that for Vista, use the normal one for games and usual files then my external drive for videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
