Hello, All!
I have my newly built PC with RAID 0. I would like to do a dual boot of
WinXP 64-bit and Vista. Which do I install first? Is it the newer OS or the
older? Thanks!
The general rule is to install the older operating system first.
Make sure that your raid array is partitioned so that each o/s will
have its own partition. And before you install Vista make sure you
have the Vista drivers for your hardware, including the RAID.
Good luck
