Charlie,
Since we last spoke (wrote), I currently have/use XP Pro on sata drive
(primary) and x32 Vista on IDE drive. I'd like to blow away Vista x32
, save XP and install SBS2003 trial on the Sata drive too.(can I do that
with the Vista boot loader already installed?)
Then I'll install x64 and Vista x64 beta2 to IDE drives.

Is that order correct ?
If all goes well I'll end up with
SATA drive:
C= XP
D = data store
E = SBS 2003
IDE drive:
G = XP x64
H= Vista x64 Beta2

Thanks again,
Bobb
