I have created a second partition on my primary C: drive. I am currently using XP Professional SP-2. Partition was created to install Vista Ultimate. When I added partition to my primary drtive (C) it assigned drive letter designatioin of J: as letters D E F G H I were assigned to DVD burners and other hard drives both internal and USB Vista will be installed to J: as noted. Will programs already installed - Office 2007, Nero, Adobe, ITunes etc. need to be installed to Vista partition or can I access them on my first (XP) partition?
Some 'stand alone' programs just run from anywhere. Autoruns from Sysinternals is one. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
But things like MS Word you can't. Its a crap shoot. But bank on 95% of the programs needing a reload.
And reload in a different folder just in case the app records .ini files with path settings in them.
