Windows 7 Beta. Dual Boot?

I am interested in trying Windows 7 and have a question about how to use it as obviously I already have another OS running (XP)

How can i download 7 and keep XP?

Also, will it run ok with 1.5gb of ram in dual channel?

Yeha its definitely possible, however youll need a partition on the computer that doesnt have a windows system on it. If you only have the one, (C driver or whatever its name on yours), there are some programs that can allow you to repartitation that space, however I dont think that any of them are free.

But, if you do have another volume you just use for storing data, or if you want to put a cheap 50 dollar harddrive, you can then install the Beat version of 7 on the second partition.

Once youve done that you should see, when you boot the computer, two options to launch windows (for example I already see my XP home and the xp recovery toolkit options just after the BIOS).

You hsould be able to change the defalut settings and the length of time that they are displayed both in winxp and win7, I know the winxp is located under My COmputer-Properites- Advanced - Startup andRecovery-and then modifying the boo.ini

Hope this helps guys
