Can Vista be installed on a current dual boot system?
Posted by Cymbal Man Freq. on October 19th, 2005


I'm working on a Dell computer that has 2 HDD's, with Win Me on the 1st
partition of 1st HDD, Win XP on 1st partition of 2nd HDD, Drive E as a data
backup to Win XP (NTFS) on the 1st HDD, Drive F as the 2nd partition on the 2nd
HDD (NTFS), Drive G as the 3rd partition on the 2nd HDD (NTFS), and Drive H as
the 4th partition on the 2nd HDD (FAT 32 - data backup for Win ME).

Which partition should I install Windows Vista onto when it is available? Right
now, Drive G looks clear for installation, but is this the correct place for it?

Also, we only have a 32 MB videocard and I read that it should be replaced with
a 128 MB videocard. We only have 4X AGP on the mobo, is this too slow for Vista?

Anal Vistula is a Beta, and shouldn't be install on a mission critical
computer. And Don't coming running to this group with Anal Vistula
problems, as it would be TOTALLY off-topic for discussion in the WINDOWS
XP GENERAL group.
