How to install windows 7 on a second hard drive?
Hi, Currently I am running Windows XP 64bit on my first hdd, I would like to install Windows 7 on my second hard drive, does anyone know how to do this so i can keep Windows XP on my first HDD without loosing all the data for XP and have a dual boot between Windows XP 64bit and Windows 7.
P.S I know that windows 7 is only the release candidate!

Boot from the W7 dvd. During the installation process the installer will ask you where you want to install the OS. Select your second hard drive.
This will create a dual boot with W7 as the primary OS (default boot). You will be asked which OS to use as your computer boots. If you don’t choose anything W7 will boot.
