Beginner's Guide to Dual Booting Windows 7

Welcome to Tekzilla... hands on reviews of the latest tech, and how to make the most out of the gear you already own!

Dual Boot Windows 7 RC1 and XP. Not to worry, Charles, it's easy! There's just one thing we need you to download first: GParted. (Vista users don't even have to do that!)

It's a good idea to back up your data before upgrading or installnig any new OS... or, better yet, image your entire drive first so that if things go desperately wrong, you can re-start right where you left off.

Systm shows you the fast and free way to create a disk image in Cheap and Easy Hard Drive Upgrade, or go whole hog and create a custom rescue and recovery disk instead. Some of our fave tools for this include Easeus Disk-Copy, Macrium Reflect Free, FOG, Clonezilla!

This would also be a good time to download and run Microsoft's "Windows 7 Upgrade Adviser" to see how MS thinks your system stacks up to Windows 7. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=1b544e90-7659-4bd9-9e51-2497c146af15
