Is it possible to instal Vista on a second HD and still keep XP on the first.
I would like to be able to do this to make it easier to uninstall Vista in
the future.
 
Yes, this works fine... Just make sure:

- You DO NOT select upgrade when Vista setup asks you.... you want to do a
clean install
- You Select your SECOND hard drive when it asks you where to install ..
don't select your XP hard drive by mistake! :)

Yes that is no problem and is indeed a better option. Bung in the DVD while
in XP. Setup will launch. Ensure you choose Custom install then you get
the choice to install onto D drive (or whatever letter your second drive
is).
 
Vista now installed on second HD. Looks 'pretty" but seems veeerry slow.
Takes ages to bootup.
So far I'm not too excited by it.
 
It still has lots of debugging code and in general the code is not yet
optimized. A lot of the slowness is due to the video driver (the beta video
drivers are also not fully debugged or optimized yet either).
