Hi, I have a core2duo (e6750) in a abit ip35 pro motherboard with 4GB of Dominator RAM. I currently have Windows 7 64 installed, but I am wanting windows XP also. My current OS is RAID'd (2 WD Raptors striped), can anyone tell me the correct process to duel boot with XP. I do intend to install a separate hard drive for this. Any help greatly appreciated.
Having installed Windows 7 first, you can't now dual-boot in the traditional sense. What you can do, however, is the recommended procedure for using two operating systems. Unplug the two Raptors and just plug in the third drive, then install XP. When all done, plug the Raptors back in. When you want to choose which OS to boot, just change the drive boot priority in the BIOS. This takes a few moments to do every time you want to change which OS you want to boot, but is much less hassle in the long run.
