Starting to think i split drive 1 needlessly..
ah well, ill merge em or something..

Well since you've already dabbled with it it.

How would i go about making this dual boot?

Do I need to do any partition juggling myself before hand?

it would be the same as before, Partition it, then install..

windows itsself should change the MBR and make the boot loader to get both.

You'll need to make a seperate partition for it. I haven't installed it yet so don't know if vista does it or you need to do it with a seperate tool or not, but yeah, it needs to go into it's own partition. Dual boot should be a choice of either XP or Vista, if not you can do it manually with XP I believe. Not sure how though as I've always used either LILO or GRUB with linux for dual or triple boot.

And, ive read you SHOULD install vista on a DIFFERENT DRIVE.. As in, phyically different, not just a different partition..

Im gonna try a different partition first i think tho.. fuck it..

All true, but I think I'll try a different partition as well.

lol, considering your last "upgrade" cost you what? $80?

I don't really either. I'm happy with XP and I think it would be a good OS for a few more years. But, then again, I would hate to lose out on the benefits that Vista would bring. When XP came out I was ready to ditch 98SE and yeah, ME. But XP seems more lively and able to last than the others.

Off to install

i want to be an early adopter, just not this early. got other things to spend money on.

I just plan on dedicating a partition to it, nothing major until satisfied one way or the other. Can be deleted later.

If so then I will have to use my other drive... My C:\ is a 20GB with only windows and applications installed on it, and a 1GB partition for the pagefile.

…And I just got the big one the way I like it…

Prolly.. it used about 9 gigs off 30..

Oh, and it magicly took, Z (vista install) And made it C, and changed C to D, while inside fo vista..

Damn this is nice..

Worked fine for me..
Im digging it.. thumbs up microsoft

Must say

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, The cunts at creative HAVE DRIVERS!

Slighty regreting not grabing the 64bit version..

4 BSOD's and counting during the 64-bit install...

I'll post back later..

Quick tip

While installing video drivers, and stuff.. do them 1 at a time and reboot after each..

XP i can install them all in one shot, here ive had to do each..

1BSOD so far

:icon26: That's the one I intend to try first.

intel or amd?

Amd 64 3200+ @ 2.5ghz,

i am trying once more, and if it dosent work i am clocking it down to 2.0ghz and trying it again.

its kinda funny though, it took 72 hours of prime95 with no hickups and i would rather NOT Clock it back down.

Ahh, AMD 64 3000+ at 2ghz here. Crossing fingers.

3000+ here too.. 32 bit seems to be running great..

Reinstalling WoW and some other misc stuff.. seems alot of games "WORK" properly..

that was perhaps the easiest install of windows i've ever seen.

more reboots then usual.

me likes so far .. posted this with vista installed .

now i'm off to see if i can break it
