Hi All,

I just got the new windows Vista, and before I completely replace my XP PRO I would like to try Vista as a second OS, and I have few questions regarding that:

1. Can I install visa at a partition (not where XP is at) without formatting it first? right now I have mainly document at that partition.

2. When I'll decide to remove Vista (in order to replace the XP or stay with it), how do I uninstall it?

3. Generally, would you guys recommend on moving from XP PRO to Vista Business? I have 1GB of ram and athlon 64 processor.

Thanks a lot,

Eyal.

This refers to a dual boot of XP Pro And Vista Beta 2, but the principle is the same.

good overall article, 1 thing to mention (when the guys writes about drivers) your old winxp/2k drivers might not work, check with (downlad advisor tool):

or check by hand with microsoft hwql db.
