Okay, I am going to set up a dual boot system with some older parts.
It will be running Windows XP and Windows 7.
What does everyone think is the best way to start? Put XP on first, or put Windows 7 on first? And why?
There is a bazillion articles regarding this dual boot configuration on the net and some say one way and others say the other way.
I have to wonder if makes and difference at all.
I know disk management in Windows 7 is a lot better for making partitions on hard drives. Not that I will do that. I will probably partition the drive prior to even loading either operating system.
Just want some thoughts and any experience at that dual boot configuration.
Thanks in advance,
Stinger
