Morning all,

Does anyone know a way that you can switch between OS's without re-booting?

I currently have both XP and Vista in a dual-boot but was hoping there was a way of setting it up so i could easily switch between the two. Is there a piece of software that will allow me to do this?

I am also hoping to get a Raptor 10k in the near future and would welcome any thoughts on dual-booting with one of these...

Thanks in advance for your help,

Tom the newbie

Yes, to actually switch between 2 installed OSs you will need to reboot.

Another option for future use is to run the OS you run the most/need the most performance out of natively and run the other OS within a VM so both can be running at once.
