Hi. I am wondering if there is a way to have 2 operating systems on one hard drive. I have a Windows 7 laptop, and an un-used windows vista laptop. i am wondering how to put both operating systems on a single hard drive manually. can anyone help me with this, of is it not worth it/a bad idea? Thanks!

this is also done by an xbox 360
partitions 1-3

When you try to format your computer with a windows disk, just go there and create a new partition. After you've done that, install the Windows disk on that partition. PM me for more details. I'm going school right now.

Partition resizing is also possible, though you should back up your data first.
