Hi
As many of you know this is my thread http://techist.com/showthread.php?threadid=92335
Ive ordered an OEM copy of Pro x64 and a 160gb western digital SATA drive.
Now id like to know how im going to do this. Although i built my machine this is new to me (only 16) and i dont want to make a pigs ear of it! I have Xp home on a 160gb samsung SATA hard drive thats nearly full.
So im going to attempt this, some one correct me if possible if im wrong:
1) Install the hard drive and plug it into any availible SATA port!
2) BOOT pc and insert the X64 disc and then go into the xp install
3) Select the unparttioned drive and continue like you normally do installing windows.
Now im wondering how do i select OS on Boot up or is ther something i have to do, is there anything else i have to do?
Thanks
Matt
