How hard would it be for me to dual boot Vista and XP if I'm putting Vista on a seperate hard drive? Do you guys know of any good guides out there? All I've really found is guides for doing XP on the same HDD as Vista with Vista installed first, or vice versa, but nothing about seperate hard drives. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The same hard drive is not a problem if it is partitioned into logical drives, but putting both in the same partition, IMO, is a bad idea. I am sure that you can find a guide to what you want to do. Have you checked places like Michael Stevens Tech and PC-911? I've been running multi-booted systems since Windows 95 came along, and I kept the old MS-DOS 6.1/ Windows for Workgroups setup in place. Most of the several PCs here are basically Win2000 systems, with one having XP as well, for any program that won't run without it.
(I had both RCT1 and RCT2 installed on PCs here a year ago -- those were the public Beta downloads of Vista -- I really didn't like much of anything about Vista then, and am still negative about it now. I will probably buy a copy after SP-1 for it is ready, and run new tests to see if it's worth spending time making it right. I'll probably put it back on the shelf until SP-2.)
