Hello

I am running a laptop witH Vista HOme Premium and I need to access a dynamic disk formated with Windows Vista Ultima 64bit.

I am thinking of doing a partition and installing there my vista ultimate to access the disk. I dont want to delete my info and install ultimate in all the drive because I dont have other drives or time to backup all my info

My question: how safe is to run two versions of vista in the same laptop? How hard is it to do it (I am new to this!).

Thanks

Can you clarify this ? ?
Both of those OS's are capable of reading each other's files...why would you need to dual-boot ? ?

As far as I know I cannot access a dynamic disk with a vista home. It appears as invalid in my diskmanagement.

If I convert it to basic, I will loose all my data.
