Best Way to Install XP and Vista
by Knight Rider » Wed Apr 04, 2007 3:36 pm
I want to reformat my computer and put XP on a 95gb Partition, Vista on a 95Gb Partition and a 60gb partition for data. Can you tell me what would be the best order to go about doing this. I could like to try and use VBP also.

You've got the ideal setup, XP on first partition and then Vista. You won't even need VBP unless you're not lucky.

It usually does unless you don't have a standard disk configuration. I was booting two flavours of XP's and Vistas x86/x64 + Longhorn Server, and if they are installed oldest to newest, I've never had a boot problem, excluding the one I have now but it could be HW related. It was stable before for several months.
