Re: [H] Making Vista and/or 7 live with XP
When you boot the Vista or Win7 DVD, setup will find your XP installation on one of the drives it detects. Just install on the other drive and there shouldn't be any cross-pollination.

Re: [H] Making Vista and/or 7 live with XP
Hello Steve, This is how I did it. I reduced the size of the volume XP was on. I think I used Bootlt to do it. Then installed Windows 7 on it. I have 2 volumes on the primary hard drive and use the boot manager to boot between the 2. Although, Booting into Windows XP is no longer needed since I use Windows XP in a virtual Machine now for programs that refuse to work with Windows 7.

Re: [H] Question of solid state drives
Hello all, When it comes to SSD drives they are great for bootdevices and program drives.Remember,all user data should be on another hard drive. I prefer SLC drives, because they seem to run faster thanMLC. But this could be due to Operating Systems as well. Only have tested SSDon Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Windows 7 has an enormousperformance increase of all operating systems over the others. Tests were done with a SLC and MLC drive. The testvolumes were defragged and in all windows registries the user drive was forcedto D:\users. After Defragged the drives were then cloned over to the SSD drive. I'm impressed with the performance.I wish I could get one installed in my gamingcomputer at home. But, I would not install World of Warcraft on it, due to WoWdoes write to the install directory numerous times during play.

Installing on separate drives is a good idea but you would have to go into the BIOS every time you want to boot from the other drive.
