    Dual boot system for Edius.

    I have Edius 5.11 on a Xp sp3 system and would like to try it on a vista 64 system. I bought the operating system and thought I would make a dual boot system. Is it better to put the new system on a completely different empty drive or on a partition that I have already on my current C drive?

    I would then just install the programs I need for Editing on the Vista system.

    I never did a dual boot system before. Anything to watch out for inparticular?

    Thanks.

      Why not try it on Windows 7, - you will never go back to XP or Vista again

          Windows 7 is not officially supported by Grass Valley. You play with fire at your own risk.

          Burnandreturn, you can either put it into an empty partition on the same physical drive as your current C drive or into a separate HDD ... no difference to the install. Just ensure you have the device driver support for your HDD in VISTA 64 before you start.

          AND - to be extra careful, BACKUP your existing C drive before you install, to be on the safe side.

              Imho .....vista overwrite the boot loader from XP

              it needs first install vista and as second system the (older) XP

              or you make it with two removable disk (on the same Sata port)

                  That's absolutely wrong. You MUST install WIN XP first, THEN VISTA over it. The bootstrap of VISTA will allow you to boot into WIN XP (as a "previous Operating System"). If you reverse the order, VISTA won't come up.

                  If you want to be 101% careful, backup EVERYTHING from the WINXP drive first before you install VISTA into another partition.

                          Thank you. I installed Vista 64 Business on a separate partition on my C drive.

                          All works fine so far. It seems that things render faster on Vista than XP.

                              If you feed VISTA 64 with enough RAM (more than 8GB) - the response of VISTA 64 is faster than WinXP Pro 32 ... I should know - I have playing with it for more than 6 months now.

                                      Steve,

                                      Why? Anything wrong with that? At least it is real world experience .... 6 months is more than long enough to tell it is consistently faster than Win XP 32.

                                          The bit where you say (I should know) that's all.
