What is the ultimate answer for a dual boot XP and Windows 7?

by cca50 . Updated 15 years, 10 months ago

First and above all, I am far from an expert. I have been reading for over 3 weeks trying to find the ultimate answer. I am running XP Pro, have 3 SATA 250 gig hds(one is cloned the other is storage)I have a new Windows 7 Ultimate staring me in the face. I realize there are boot issues between the 2 different versions. What is the best installation to do a dual boot, partition one hard drive and install Windows 7 or install Windows 7 on a empty hard drive? Should I clone my current hard drive and disconnect it in case of a failure to be safe?? I am retired with a bad back and this occupies my days.
Help Please…
and Thanks in advance!!
