Virgin dual boot, Win7 Pro + XP Pro
I'm ready to boot up for the first time, after the hardware upgrade, but I can imagine there must be a correct route to follow.
I've been running XP Pro 32 bit w/o any hassles.
Now installed a new mobo plus a 2nd h/d (also SATA).
The aim is to install Win7 Pro 64 bit (already purchased) on the new h/d and use dual boot.
Should I boot up and attempt to install Win7 or should I first disconnect the XP drive?
From which angle should I start?
I expect XP will not accept the new mobo? Before I boot up, any suggestions, or ref sites, that should be followed to reduce the pain?
