Just a quick query, I have a few drives with various installs, installed XP on Sata0-1 then installed Vista on Sata0-2, Editied bootloader to remove Vista and still boot into XP, then a few weeks ago installed Windows 7 on SATA1, but having some driver issues, stuttering sound, mail issues etc, so am going to leave that for a bit, or install again some other time.

I'm now planning to reinstall XP on Sata1 (OCZ SSD, so need it on there) would this present any real problems with another active xp on the system? OR will whichever one os set highest in the boot order work? The plan is to also move Vista onto a faster drive and try to give that another go, but right now, my immediate worries are will the 2 xp#s co-exist until the new one is all setup and working correctly? Or am I setting myself up for a world of hurt? :D

Cheers!
