Vista - Success strategies for XP/Vista dual boot?

Having put together a new box and installed XP, it's time to decide how to proceed with Vista 64 in the same box.

If you have a recommended approach to dealing with some of the issues for dual booting these two and have come up with a strategy that works (eliminates the restore point issues for example), I'd much appreciate your insights.

Also, recommendations on using dedicated drives for eash OS versus partitions in a RAID-10 for each OS.

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm using EasyBCD and i have WinXP, Vista Ultimate 32-bit and Vista 64-bit installed. I have installed EasyBCD on my OEM Vista Home 32-bit which came with my PC and since i have no problems....
Download EasyBCD 1.7.1 - NeoSmart Technologies

Thanks I will check it out.

Can you use EasyBCD if you start with XP installed as your one OS, or must you install Vista first?

Thanks looks promising!

EasyBCD installs in Vista OS only. So you have installed XP, now you need to install Vista in a second partition and then install EasyBCD. From it you have to point which OS on whish drive is...... that's all.

I tried installing Winpuk2k8 RTM on a w2k3 + sp2 and it failed to
boot either OS afterwards. WinPuk2k8 uses a differ loader so likely if
you installed that first, then an older 1988 product it may work.
