Advice about Windows Server Dual Boot

[whitetime]

Hi All

My main OS is Windows Server 2008 which i runt he normal stuff on, web development, DB etc, but i also want to do a Dual Boot with Windows Server 2003 or a Vista Lite purely for gaming … ?

Does anyone have any advice how best to do this and in what order etc ?

Many thanks

I think its best to install 2003 first, and then make fresh install of 2008.You will be able to select the os at boot.

Hi Sawo

Thanks for that … Would it be possible then to partition my HDD eg: c: & d:

C: = 200GB Main OS
D: = 50GB Game OS

and install windows 2003 to the d: partition first and then windows server to the c: partition … ? Having never done a dual boot before, just want to figure out best solution.

Many Thanks

Yeah, that should work, but i think 200GB is way too much for system drive.
Maybe something like this is better:
C: 20GB main os
D: 20GB second os
E: 210GB storage
