dual boot

[Guest]

is it possible to dual boot with vista on the same drive and partion, if not
can anybody tell me how to move my windows system and all to just one drive
(i am using raid 0 right now , 2 drives, 120 + 160) without having to
reinstall it, xp home, when i break the raid to use two different drives?

Yes, you can dual boot XP Home, Vista x86 and x64, just make sure have your
RAID drivers to install your storage device.

Andre can you put Vista and XP Media center on IDE drives for a dual boot?I
dont want to install Vista on main pc unless I can dual boot it.I put Vista
on another PC I have that is a little old and slower than my Main PC and it
keeps crashing to Blue screen and reboots.You can reply here or email me at
(e-mail address removed)
Thanks for any help.

I have installed Vista on a second partition of my XP Media Center machine
without problems.

 

[Guest]

Not sure if that last post made it so I will do it again.Thanks Leo
Can I ask you 1 more question.Can I use a program like Partion Magic or the
Vista Disc to set up the Partion for Dual Boot.
Thanks in advance
Jeff

I used Partition Magic. As I understand it, the Vista setup will erase your
data. It is also important after partitioning to start the Vista setup from
inside XP so you can choose the install location for Vista.

I set up the Partion and tried to set it for active with partion magic and
the option is not there.Should I make a totally new partion?I tried to use
one that was already there,that I was not using.
Thanks

You can choose the target partition if you start the installation by booting
with the dvd also. If the partition does not appear then a disk controller
driver needs to be supplied (Load Drivers button). Giving the volume an
easily distinguishable name before starting helps avoid errors.

Too stupid for a beta OS.

When you help someone like this they will just be back in a few more
days with more stupid question.

This group is being flooded with moronic questions:
How do I get a product key
Where do I get a driver for xyz hardware
Won't install on my lapotop
Won't install on my computer circa 1968
My crappy video card won't run aero glass (the sky is falling)
My crappy sound card doesn't work
Can't figure out how to activate
Will my 16 bit program from 1992 run on Vista
How long can I use Vista Beta
How do I dual boot
I NEED STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO GET XP BACK
cannot delete windows.old file

Ignore them, children should only listen to adult conversations, not
be incouraged to join in.

some reason my System would not load right from the DVD.So I made a new DVD
and tried the Other DVD drive on my PC and it worked.I know have the system
doing what I want.Thanks again for all the help from everyone EXCEPT 2 HE CAN

Don't bother responding. He left the same reply on dozens of threads and
then beat it.

Interestingly I found that when I downloaded the image file on a helper
computer and burned the dvd on its burner and then tried to use the dvd in
my test machine I got nothing but file copy errors. When I moved the image
file to the test machine and burned a dvd on it I had no problems. The
download was fine but for some reason it helped to burn the dvd in the same
drive I was installing from.
