Multi boot with Windows 7
I have successfully installed Windows 7. Did some weird things that I
didn't expect; but Windows 7 is working and my Windows XP is still working; which I didn't expect. One other thing it did is change all my drive letters whilst I'm in Windows 7; however; whilst I'm in Windows XP; they are at their original state. Okay with me; just don't know how that is possible! I can boot to either operating system from the start up screen at boot up. I know that there are boot managers out there. Is it possible with one of these boot managers to flip back and forth between both operating systems; with out re-booting??

If your curious download and install EasyBCD: http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 As to the second part of your question, the answer is no unless your set up a Virtual environment. -- JS http://www.pagestart.com

You can change the drive letter allocation of either OS without affecting the other. I can boot to either operating system from the start up screen at boot up. I know that there are boot managers out there. Is it possible with one of these boot managers to flip back and forth between both operating systems; with out re-booting?? No.
