Vista dual boot?

[TS Mathews]

I've just started thinking about giving Vista a try but I don't really want
to risk major problems. I started reading this group and noticed a comment
or two which made me think an option for Vista installation is dual boot.
Is this correct?

Yes Vista dual boots. As a rule of thumb I would install the older O/S
first, just like a 9x install and an XP install, but in reality: Vista and
XP are both NTFS so it doesnt matter what is first.

yeah it'll duel boot but only after frigin around and only if vista can see
the drive at installation time i tried to get vista to see my raid 0 array by
looking at the driver floppy for it but all i got was windows cant find a
driver for your controller blah blah boo hoo sod off sucka and the other
thing to watch out for is having more than 1 disk hooked up at install
because unless the disk your installing to is the 1st disk vista can see then
it'll stuff the boot folder with the boot files on whatever disk is 1st
inline nevermind that you told it to install on say the secondary slave disk

Indeed. I did this with a drive that was encryted and destroyed everything on
the computer. OOPS I should have known. All versions of Windows do this.
