Re: Dual booting XP and Vista

Interesting question and even more an interesting Answer from Mick.
Actually, the license is for one computer. That is, two computers will not
be running the same equipment.
Mick, if it's on the same computer then the Microsoft verification should
pass shouldn't it?
Because the equipment serial numbers that Microsoft check eg, harddrive, rom
and what ever else should be the same. Personally, I don't know if you can
install Windows XP on both harddrives but given the above I would think it
would be legitament. I'd appreciate your thoughts on my comments.

Also, "fellfrosch" Why not just upgrade to Vista say on C: drive and then
post again asking if you can now install XP on your D: drive?
Once again, I don't know if you can do that.

Regards Mickey
