Hi,

Basically I have a 74gb raptor and managed to free up 20gb. Is it possible to change the partition so that I can create another partition to install another OS?

It's just something in the back of my head is saying it's risky to resize...

Thanks,

Just installed it. It won't let me resize to the size I want... I guess it needs so much free space to resize.

EG, I need 20gb... I have 20gb free but it will only let me free 15gb.

I will sort it out tomorrow anyway. But cheers :)
 
Afternoon all,

I have 2 drives. My 74 C:/ and my 250 GB D:/. Windows is on C:/ and I want to install Vista on the D:/. Is this possible? I'm just not clued up when it comes to duel booting. I just want to try out Vista and see if it's worth the move really.

If you just want to try Vista then i recommend using VMWare. This will allow you to create a virtual instance of Vista and run it on your existing o/s.

Yeh I was thinking this but I really want to know what it would be like running it on its own. Otherwise I have no idea on how it's going to handle on my machine.
 
OK. Defragging D drive now. Managed to free up some more space.

Then once that's done I resize the current partition. I then make a new partition with the drive letter... H:/

Then I suppose I just boot up the Vista disc and install it on partition H:/

But then how am I going to boot up into that, won't it just boot up to XP on C:/?
