2 Hard Drives 2 OS's


Recommended Posts

Now, I'm currently downloading the RC and I have searched for some sort of solution but not a defiintive one for doing what I want to do.

Currently, I have 2 250GB Internal Hard Drives inside my Dell 530. One contains Vista and basically all my files, the other with literally nothing. And approximately 230GB for me to play with.

What I want to know is, could I clean install the RC on the separate Hard Drive, and basically choose to run that as my primary Operating System or would I need to something else?

I've checked my Specification and it seems to be perfectly fine for me to run Windows 7 smoothly.

And sorry for the lack of detail, this topic isn't exactly my fort?...

I'm doing something very similar. I have Vista on my main drive and Windows 7 on a spare drive. I just choose which to boot from and voila!

Hmm, sorry about bothering again and a repost- I'm not able to edit my previous post. I was just wondering also, if it would be possible instead of using the DVD Burner, if I would be able to use my iPod with its 'storage' cappabilities to mount the .iso file and then set-up from there?

I'm not sure about the iPod technique, however you could do what I did - Open the RC .iso with Winrar and click the setup file from inside Vista. Just make sure you choose the other HDD when installing :p

You can, but it would probably require reformatting your iPod then use WinRar or 7Zip to extract the ISO to the root of the drive.

I've done the same on my AA1 from a flash drive in the past.
