QUOTE(Darkstalker @ Oct 12 2008, 12:18 PM) I've been reading up guides on this and I've pretty much gotten confused with all the stuff that's been said in the guides, so I guess I'm looking at guides too technical for me. First proper question: The guides say I need to set up a separate partition for Vista. I already have three partitions on a 320GB drive, do I still need a separate Vista partition or can I just use an existing partition (C:, D:, E:)?Will ask more questions as I get to understanding them. One step at a time. u just need 2 install each windows in separate partition.

QUOTE(Darkstalker @ Oct 12 2008, 05:07 PM) So, no problem that I put it on existing partition? C: is my Windows XP + Programs, D: and E: are misc. files, really. All the guides I see say that I need to create a new partition solely for Vista, which is why I'm asking. u cannot put 2 same windows in 1 partition. if C is ur xp, den vista u'll need 2 install in D or E

Let's say I install Vista in Drive: E, would the install reformat the partition? Wanna know if I need to backup my stuff there. Also, if I install and something goes wrong, how do I get rid of it? wen u install windows in a partition, of coz u hav 2 4mat it during the installation. yes, u need 2 bck up the stuff.
