Re: Dual boot: Vista and Vista on 2 Hard Drives?

I'm running Vista on two hard drives, one at a time, on the same computer.
The second install activated with no problems. One drive is effectively a
backup of the other, without the random junk.

For the installer to make a dual-boot menu, it has to see
the other pre-existing OS, so both hard drives have to be
connected when the 2nd OS is being installed on the 2nd HD.
