Installing windows to dual-boot


I'm looking to install 32-bit windows with IIS to dual-boot with my 64-bit edition of windows on a laptop. I have a ten gig partition on my harddrive - is this large enough for a simple Windows install and a few programs?


I've never dual booted before, so I'm not quite sure how easy it is to mess up the process. Can you recommend any tutorials on how to set up a dual-boot configuration on Windows?



Answer



10 Gigs is enough for a windows-xp install but not nearly enough for a win7 install.


But have you considered using VirtualBox or VirtualPC or vmware to create a virtual machine instead of dual booting.


Today it's very easy to do and you have access to both environments at the same time.
