October 30, 200916 yr Hi all-I have Win 7 arriving sometime today and had a question..I'm currently running Vista Business 32 and FSX just fine. Vista is on one drive and FSX is on its own drive. I have three drives in my box.Can I install Win 7 on the third drive and have it 'see' FSX on the other without doing an FSX reinstall that tied directly to Win 7?Thanks,Mark

I am, of course, assuming that you are planning on creating a dual-boot scenario to be able to boot into either Vista of Win7 ... correct? If so, when you boot into Win7 although it will "see" the other drives, it will not have access to the Vista Registry that recorded your FSX entries in order for it to run properly.
