I think so, but I sure don't want to end up installing 2 complete OP's. Any thoughts? | We're talking about two separate harddrives, correct? I assume your bootloader is on the drive that has XP? You won't have to reinstall Mandriva completely, but you will need to reinstall the Linux bootloader after you install Vista, since it will overwrite the bootloader on there now.
If however your bootloader is on the Linux drive, you might not need to reinstall anything, just change the name of the boot option. In theory it should still chainload and boot the same way. However I've never dual-booted with Vista before, so I could be mistaken. |
