Ok, I just got a new 150GB Raptor from newegg. I've also got a 74GB Raptor in my PC running Windows XP 32-Bit. I've also got a 250GB WD HDD that I used to back up stuff.

What I want to do is Install Windows Vista on the new 150GB Raptor. How exactly do I go about doing this? I don't want to mess with my XP install on the 74GB Raptor.

Can I just insall the drive and then install Vista to that drive?

I've never set up a dual-boot system so I'm not really sure how to go about it. I've got an idea but I just want to here from some of the experts before I open up my case and get to work.

Thanks,
 
Set the new Raptor to be your boot drive, then install Vista on it. Vista will take care of the rest.
 
If you really dont want to mess up the drives the easiest way to do it is unhook you other drives, install vista on the 150 raptor then hook up the other drives. Hit f8 at boot up to load the asus boot selection menu and choose between your 2 drives.

2nd way is to leave you machine the way it is. Startup vista from the dvd and start the install, select the 150gb drive during install. It will put the new boot information on the current boot drive and give you the option at startup to select vista or earlier operating system
