You have three choices when you run Vista setup:
- Boot from the DVD and do a clean install to a fresh partition. Your new installation is assigned drive letter C: when you boot into Vista.
- Launch Setup from Windows XP and do a clean installation. Your new copy of Windows Vista is assigned the next available drive letter and your existing Windows installation keeps drive C:.
- Launch Setup from Windows XP and choose the Upgrade option. I don’t recommend this option unless you have a full image backup to restore as needed.
If you’re planning to evaluate Windows Vista in a dual-boot setup, be sure to use a separate partition or physical disk, and allow at least 20GB for testing purposes. Allow more, much more, if you intend to really use Windows Vista. |
