Hi "CR", just a thought on your question bud ~ if you
already have the two operating systems running without any
grief, why add any? If I were you, I'd just buy another
hard drive to play the game rather than put your work and
saved files at any risk. I mean ~ just to play a video
game (hahahahahaa your kidding :->) ... of course, the
call is yours.
