Installing longhorn.... by Savior on 08-23-2005 at 02:39 PM

Hi,

Thought I would get an opppinion from you.  I recently got a copy of Windows Vista aka Longhorn.  I want to install it but I have Windows XP also wich I want to keep.  How should I install it in your oppinion?

can't you have 2 OSs at the same time :S


RE: Installing longhorn.... by Savior on 08-23-2005 at 02:43 PM

I can't dual boot or put it on a seperate partition?

Probably, you can install it on another partion...
But, you can also try using
VMWare
Workstation
which has support for Longhorn... :)

hmmmm ok.  I thought I can dual boot it with windows xp.  But I can wait and ask around some more but if anyone else has any thoughts I would be appreciative

Sure you can dual boot, just put it on another partition


RE: Installing longhorn.... by Savior on 08-23-2005 at 03:01 PM

That would work for sure the dual boot in another partition?
