Dual Booting Advice Needed

External Since: Sep 10, 2007 Posts: 54

I currently have two 320GB HDDs running in RAID 0, partitioned into two.
Disk 0 (which used to have XP on it) and Disk 1 (which has Vista Business
32bit on it).
Will creating a partition on Disk 0 and installing Vista Ultimate x64 be a
simple process, leading to a boot screen that will allow me to choose
between the two operating systems or am I likely to encounter any issues?

TIA

I have 2 separate HD's. I just change the boot order when I want to use
XP.

I believe if you install XP 1st and then Vista you will get the boot option
to pick.

I also use Virtual PC 2007 with XP pro on it. I have one old finicky CAD
program that
won't work in Vista, and I don't have $1500 to upgrade!!
