Can I install Windows Vista Business (first version that was released) on partition 2 when XP Pro is already installed on partition 1?
Can I install Windows Vista Business (first version that was released) on partition 2 when XP Pro is already installed on partition 1?
My laptop came preinstalled with Vista Business (first version that was released) but I changed to XP Pro SP2. Before I uninstalled Vista Business I burned two DVDs if I later wanted to use Vista. Now, I have created three partitions on my laptop and have already installed Windows XP Pro SP2 on the first partition.
When I inserted my first Vista-DVD that I burned myself, after loading the files there was a screen saying I now can restore the whole harddrive to factory settings. I didn't click "Next" before that is not exactly what I had in mind: I want to install the OS Vista Business on partition 2 only, not the whole harddrive. So I wonder whether I will be given any option later to install to a certain partition? So that the whole restore process/Vista-installation just gets started and I loose my current XP-installation.
