Dualboot with Longhorn?

I've got 4 harddrives on my system 2 are RAID and contain all my music and video. The main drive (C🙂 houses applications on Windows XP Pro. However D: is empty. Is it possible to install a newly acquired Longhorn OS on D:? And still keep everything running C:? Will just installing it on D: allow me to dualboot? I'd like to keep the stability of XP, but give Longhorn a test drive.

Thanks!
 
Yes, you can dual-boot longhorn and windows XP. Just keep in mind that the bootloader on your C drive will be updated by the longhorn installer (and needs to be for longhorn to boot).
 
Here's the good news. I got the dualboot working perfectly. And I'm able to use Longhorn pretty well. Are there any drivers I can use for it...premlinary, preview drivers perhaps? Any ideas? Has anyone experimented with this?

Typically I've found that the XP drivers will work for most pieces of hardware.

audio driver xp works
nic driver xp works
