    Dual booting Win 7?


    Probably been asked before, but I had a quick search and couldn't find much.

    On my system, I have Linux Mint as my primary OS with XP for gaming. Is it possible to install 7 to a custom location so it doesn't overwrite the existing installs?

    I would think that you could create another partition and install it on there.
