    2 operating systems?

    hi.

    in my pc i got 1 hard drive.

    its been partitioned to 3. c, d and e

    c is 116gb, d is 107gb and e is 8.54gb

    my operating system, xp is on c.

    on d, i have all my music files and when my c messes up, i bunk everything from c to d.

    is it possible to install vista onto d?

    what about the files i got on d, do i have to move them to c before i can do that?

    how can i choose which op system i wanna run?

    if i wana get rid of vista, which i most likely will wana, how will i do that? and will the drive be completely wiped?

    Cool Re: 2 operating systems?

    Yes move what ever you need then install your opperating System to d as if you dont you will lose what ever is on that partition,, Your probily better backing up all your stuff to be on the SAFE side anyway,and to be honest I dont think it is good to have two on your pc ,,,as I cant see the benifits from this,,

    do a search for 'EasyBCD 1.52' you'll need this, makes the whole process very simple. plenty of guides out there just goggle it.

    You've already got a D Drive so you won't need to do the first bit...
