Question re: dualboot

[harris1986]

Ok guys just a query here:

I'm looking at getting a 2nd hard drive (probably 250gb) just for my OS and bare essentials and use my 500gb for games + general storage.

On the os drive i'm going to divide it into 2 partitions of 125gb each one for Vista and one for Windows7, my question is that if I install games/apps on my storage drive will they be recognised in both windows7 and Vista?

The storage drive itself will be recognised in both Windows 7 and Vista and you'll be able to see the files. However some (probably most) applications copy files into the Windows directory during installation, so a program installed under Vista might not run properly (or at all) in 7 without moving some files around. Other programs (Steam being a very good example) are self-contained and will run no matter which OS installed them.

Kool thanks for that Master cleared things up for me with 125gb each partition I should be able to get most of what I want on each if need be
