Guest peter Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Re: XP and Vista How did you install the 2 operating systems??? If you install XP on one drive and then disconnected that drive and installed Vista on the other both drives are bootable. You can then chose wich drive to boot from by means of the BIOS...or by means of an F? key during the boot process if your BIOS supports this. peter "macsimpalass" <macsimpalass.2wsx8w@no.email.invalid> wrote in message news:macsimpalass.2wsx8w@no.email.invalid... > > I just built a new computer, 680i mobo sli, (2) 8800 ulitra, antec case, > antec 850 watt power.
