Hi, I hope someone out there can give me some advice on what I need to do.
I've just bought a new computer for making music on, this is an upgrade from my old XP system. The computer comes with (when it arrives) windows Vista, I have also bought another copy of XP.
What I would like to do is create a dual boot system with XP and Vista but after looking into this I came across a problem. I have a second hard drive with all my music files on which is an E: drive. After reading an installation guide for a dual boot system I read that the second OS installation automatically installs the OS as E:.
My problem is that my 200GB E drive is full with music project files that need to run from the E drive because they contain audio files, changing the drive letter would cause each project to be unable to locate it's audio files.
What I need to know is if there is a way I can install the two OSs on one hard drive and keep my other hard drive as E:.
I've heard about virtual PC but I'm not sure if using this it would be possible doing it this way either...
If anyone's got any advice it'd help me out loads
Thanks
