Default Vista to 3rd HD


I have 2 drives C & D
D = clone of C for safety

I want to install a 3rd HD and put a clean install of Vista on it - just the
OS to start with.
I had Vista on my D drive for a few days and really enjoyed ''messing
around'' with it
(this newgroup was a great help with my "messing around'')

will I be able to boot to the new HD with Vista or C (with XP) as I
please/choose?

TIA

Bill

Default RE: Vista to 3rd HD
I have 4 partitions through 2 HD and have a triple boot that I can run each
OS easily. Make sure you look at drive sizes when formatting and installing
they change around depending on which OS you choose so I go by the size of
the partition to decide which partition to install the latest Beta on.
