Two installs on windows 7 pro on diff partitions of same drive
Development/Test/ Lab machine with windows 7 pro.. having SW config issues and would like to reinstall from scratch but concerned with not having it available for a few days.
It has a 1T Hard drive currently with two partitions.. 130gb for Windows 7 pro OS and rest for Data files. I have about 500gb free. I'd like to grab another 130gb from data and have 3 partions and install windows 7 pro on the new partion to reconfigure some SQL and .NET stuff.. If I'm happy I'd like to make that my default boot, but leave the other up just in case for a few months.
1. Will Windows automatically offer a boot menu?
2. Can i set which boot comes up automatically?
3. Later, any issues installing Windows 7 pro on the original partition again for another test.
