Dual Boot

Ok, i really like the look of some of the DX10 stuff thats floating around and am thinking now may possibly be a good time to upgrade to vista, currently using my nice stable xp pro that i would like to keep as a backup (i still dont really trust vista)

I currently have a 200gb HDD with XP/games etc on and a 400gb HDD for my music/movies/drivers etc (for when i need to format C: )

I am wondering if i can install vista on the 400gb HDD without formatting and keep all the data i currently have on there,

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply, I didnt think of that

In that case is it possible to partition the 400gb drive keeping all the old files on 1 partition? or am i totally going nowhere with this?

Ok, i have just got all my partitions sorted out and am now using vista

i gotta say im impressed, the last time i used it was at RC1 and it was horrible, actually starting to look nearly finished now

it does seem to be running a lot smoother than xp too
