Dual Booting with Vista

[rsnovak]

I have WINXP Pro I would like to run Vista also (Dual Boot) I'm sure someone has tried this! Any issues I should be aware of?
The System I'm using definately meets all system Requirements

Pent D 2.4 overclocked to 3.1 (Liquid Cooled)
2.5Ghz DDR OCZ Gold
Asus P4P800 SE
GeForce 5500 256 DDR
1-74ghz WD Raptor SATA (running to OS)
1-500ghz WD Caviar SATA (Storage)
2-Liteon Dual Layer DVD Lightscribing burners

Its not SLOW...lol

I'm doing it now at home, works great, I have one minor issue with the keyboard not working in the bios, but i think this is more of a motherboard issue then OS as the OS's reconize all the hardware properly.

Partition one of those drives, or add another one.

If it was me I would add another drive and install separately to that and if possible use the bios to boot to the harddrive/OS of choice.
This way they are not connected in any way should you wish to get rid of one later

The second drive is your best bet, because no matter what glitch you may encounter with your operating system, it is easy to recover. True dual boot systems where the drive is partitioned and a boot manager is installed can make it hard to recover data and functionality if things go bad.
