Need HELP w/ Dual Boot XP Pro32 & Win7 Ultimate -VHD or Partition
Just got the Win 7 Ultimate Full Retail 32/64 software & I'm not sure which method is best for now & future...Virtual Hard Drive or add another Partiton to one of my (2) hard drives?
I need to migrate slowly to Win 7 to get used to the interface & do 64bit software installs after using XP for so long. Time to get full use of my DualCore machine!
XP Pro 32 currently installed.
HD #1 (160gb)
C:92gb (54gb free) = Windows, Hardware & Drivers
D:62gb (47gb free) = Installed Programs
HD #2 (250gb)
E:47gb (14gb free) = Backups, Downloads
F:47gb (35gb free) = Program Files
G:139gb (81gb free) = Music, Videos, Movies & DVD Creation
RAM = only 4gb for now
So, I have read enough of the tutorials here know enough to "F" something up, but want to try & start on the right foot.
Questions:
1) Install VHD, add a partition to an existing HD, add a new HD or add external HD for Win 7?
2) Size & location of VHD or partition
3) Best toutorial for the above?
4) Any other recommendations?
Thanks
