Dual booting

Post by arfur »

Can I dual boot from 2 different disks?

XP on the main drive.
Vista on another.

yes, you may need a seperate dual-boot controller though because the Vista one may not pick up the XP install on a seperate disc, I don't know if you could possibly put GRUB or something on there and use that to control the booting. Whatever you do make sure that you put the dual-boot controller on the first disc that boots, otherwise you'll just get whatever OS is on the other disc :)
