Dual Boot Vista and MCE 2005?

[nickolas80]

Any reason why one shouldn't be able to dual boot Vista and Media
Center 2005?

Which one would I want to install first?

Anything special I should know?


Thanks!

Both Windows Vista Home Premium and Ultimate editions include
Media Center features. You only need to install one those Windows
Vista editions and not dual-boot with Windows XP Media Center Edition.

Vista questions should be posted to a Vista newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.vista.general. Look through the messages there before
posting your question. Many of these upgrade issues have been discussed
over and over.

There is no reason why you can't. Always install the older OS first. I'm
dual booting XP Pro and Vista.

Make sure you read the messages in the Vista newsgroup about the caveats
when dual booting with Vista and an XP OS related to the loss of System
Restore points, Volume shadow copies and backup files made in Vista after
you boot into the XP OS.
