Hi
I'm new to multi booting and navigating the way forward to install XP pro.32, XPpro.64, Win7 pro.64. on my Dell precision t3500.
I have at my disposal (not installed) 'licenced' Acronis disc director home 2011, it includes "OS Selector". Is this programme good stuff or is it more trouble than its worth ?
From posts back in 2009 there was trouble in hand, so what about 2011 ?
Look forward to hearing your experiences.
Thanks fellows
Dominic
