hi there first post here...
im upgrading my pc and i need a bit of heLP!
at the mom i got a sata hdd where i have a dual boot with xp and vista. (my hdd config= c,d,e,f) (lets say c=xp and f=vista)
I want to delete vista on this drive coz i want to install it on a new drive.
1) how exactly do i do that? i dont want to simply format the partition where vista is on now coz i wanna try to merge that partition to the other 1(nn primary) that i have on my hdd. So i want to try to merge f and e. is it possible?
2) i want to fresh install vista on the new sata hdd. do i just plug in the drive and boot with the cd in and start the set up or shall i start the setup within xp?
3) considering all the above went well, will i then be able to choose witch os to boot from at start up? like im currently doing with my dual boot? i obiosly want to keep xp on the other drive.
i hope i was clear enough and all help will be appreciated.
Thanks
