I have an unconventional dual boot system. I have XP Pro x64 on one HDD and Windows 7 Ultimate on another HDD. I know a lot of you are saying”boy, that’s a stupid way to do it” or something like that. Anyway, it’s done now and I don’t know if M.S. is going to allow me to move W7 to the other drive. Depending on the mood of the tech they’ll either say “sure man, no problema”. Or you can get the guy who can quote the EULA chapter and verse and tel you the only solution is to buy another copy of W7. Technically if it’s a different drive it’s a different computer. Microsoft’s 11th commandment I believe. Now my point. If I have to keep things status quo, some of the upgrades from ASUS who made the mobo are the same for both OS’s. Others aren’t. How big a can of worms might I open should I decide to try to update the utlilities, updates etc. from ASUS. Everything’s up to date on 7, but every time I start to do an update on xp pro 64, I get very nervous. I would sure like some advice from some of you wiser folks than I on this one. Feel free to contribute and if you must,go ahead and tell me how I should have done it. There really is a reason though. It’s just not a very good one. Thanks!
