I have a hard drive that is MUCH bigger than I will ever use (400 Gigs) because I don't do a lot of video or music editing. Just Office Apps and Games.
My current Boot Partition is Vista 64. I've also installed all my Office Apps there. I have all my games installed on a separate partition, but they were installed under Vista.
Here is my question:
If I create an XP Dual-boot Partition and I want to be able to play games on it, can I play the ones from my gaming partition that I installed when Vista was active, or do I need to re-install them to work with XP?
Thanks, yes I figured that might be the case. From what I have seen though, based upon the lastest Vista drivers, XP has VERY LITTLE advantage over Vista with the newest games. Maybe a couple FPS unless it is a OpenGL game.
I think you can "reinstall" them overtop the old install. What you need are the registry changes, I expect. Of course, there might be some configuration or setup file local to the installation that you'll overwrite and would be make the previous install fail.
