"Jim Cladingboel" <carramar@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:4a88e98f$1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxI have a copy of this OS on a DVD from a local (Oz)
magazine.
I also have a spare 40GB HDD on which I could install it.
My concern is that this might create a problem with my XP
Home/SP3/IE8 which is currently working very smoothly.
Is it worth doing?
Appreciate any advice,
Jim.
Disconnect the working drive and then install Win 7 on the 40gb drive as if it were the only operating system available. This will keep it entirely separate.
You can then either use an F key from your initialization screen to select an alternative boot device (in this case, Win 7)
Or go into BIOS and select a different boot device
Or go into BIOS and reset the boot order such that Win 7 on the 40gb drive is your first boot device..
Much depends on what your computer will allow you to do..
