Dual boot graycolor <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> 11/26/2008 9:11:04 PM I partitioned my drive leaving 40gb for ultimate. Do I just install vista and hope that a boot screen shows up. Or does installing ultimate delete my home premium boot thing? -- graycolor

You should have at least 60 GB to avoid possible low space issues. As long as you install Ultimate on the other partition, then Home Premium will still be there with Ultimate as an OS option to select at boot. See this tutorial to make any adjustments to how long you have to make a OS choice at boot. By default you have 30 seconds. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/82664-boot-partition-default.html Hope this helps, Shawn -- Brink *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*Windows 7 Forums*' (http://www.sevenforums.com/) *and* '*::Vista Forums::*' (http://www.vistax64.com) *Please post feedback to help others.*

Re: Dual boot graycolor <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> 11/26/2008 9:24:58 PM Just to clarify this won't delete vistas homes boot files like xp would right? So I don't have to worry about restoring any boot files. -- graycolor

Re: Dual boot Brink <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> 11/26/2008 9:43:23 PM No, it should not. If for some odd reason it does, then you can run a Startup Repair with the Vista Home Premium installation disc on it's partition to fix the boot file. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/91467-startup-repair.html -- Brink *There are no dumb questions, just the people that do not ask them.* '*Windows 7 Forums*' (http://www.sevenforums.com/) *and* '*::Vista Forums::*' (http://www.vistax64.com) *Please post feedback to help others.*
