I would like to install both Windows XP & Windows 7 on the same PC, clean, vanilla, from scratch.
Problem is the setup.
Should I install XP in the first partition 0, then Win7 in partition 1 afterwards? Will Win7 put some boot files/folders into partition 0 in order for it to work/boot properly? I prefer if Win7 doesn't put boot files into the same partition as XP, since I want to IMAGE the partitions after installation and maybe swap about with XP & some other OS (linux or 98 or something else).
Should I create a BOOT partition 0 first then install XP into partition 1 and Win7 into partition 2?
If I did this, then I could install my own boot loader (GRUB4DOS) in partition 0... and don't have to worry about Win7 boot files lingering in XP partition etc.
How to manage all this? Please advise...
