I My OS is xp home with XP 2 - I have 2 HDS C & D - boot to C - clone C to D as a back up periodically. Both these HDS are WD Raptors - 10K rpm. I want to add another HD - make it "V" and install Vista Beta 2 on it. The HD I want to add is a Maxtor 7200 rpm SATA 100GB drive 8MB cache. I want to be able to boot to C to do my normal computer stuff, or V to play around with Vista Beta 2. I have experience with this ''dual booting'' thing. Can this be done? Should it be done? TIA Bill |

Thanks Paul, I'll d/l the program and go to the forum to learn how it works. I have never done this dual boot thing before and will need some help - thanks for yours.
