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?
That depends on the program....
Some will work NP
Some will work but you'll have to reconfigure them as they will be looking
for their registry info in a different registry.
Some will also want you to enter your registration/purchase key (if
applicable) for the new Vista registry.
Some will complain of a missing dll or ocx file...just copy the needed one
from old OS to new.
Some (few, IME) you'll need to install again.
I have a similar situation but with Win98 on C: and XP on L:. I have
several hundred programs on C:; I have found very few thus far that won't
work from L:. All the above assumes that Vista works like other OS. I have
no experience with it and most likely never will.
