December 3, 200817 yr With a winXP Vista64 dual boot configuration where the two OSs are to reside on separate physical HDDs are there any advantages in disconnecting the drive with winXP before installing Vista on the second disc and then using the bios to manage which OS to boot from? My plan is to use winXP for FS9 and most other tasks and Vista64 just for FSX. Any observations appreciated.Bruceb Bruce Bartlett Frodo: "I wish none of this had happened."

Sounds like you're already planning on doing that though, so no worries!
