Re: ? Re-install Applications ??

It doesn't. Programs that write to some areas won't work in Vista because those areas are now protected and output is virtualized to protect the system. Such programs will need to be reinstalled in Vista for this to work.

When I added partition to my primary drtive (C) it assigned drive

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.
