XP restore points will corrupt Vista restore points. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 10:03 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Question on duel OS booting Greetings! Workstations here are all WinXP Pro, are DHCP clients, and belong to a Windows 2003 "Native" domain. I just happen to have unassigned space on my system drive, and I just happen to have a Vista Business install CD (properly licensed and awaiting installation). SO, as the DHCP client gets its lease based on its MAC address (my machine has only 1 NIC), how might I go about installing Vista and having it function properly in the network (without damaging the status of the alternative XP installation)? NO, I will NOT set it up as a VM on my desktop system - I did that once, and it was simply offal! -- Richard D. McClary Systems Administrator, Information Technology Group ASPCA(r) 1717 S.
