If I was setting up a dual boot system with XP and Vista 64, how would my drive letters be arranged for each OS? I vaguely remember reading that Vista handles the C drive differently, such that each OS would treat it's system volume as C. Here's how my 2 250 GB drives are partitioned:
Drive 1:
Partition 1: 100 GB Windows XP SP2 installed
Partition 2: ~130GB Windows VIsta64 installed
Drive 2:
Partition 1: 230 GB Data Storage for both OSes.
I believe when I boot to XP, I'd have C and D on the first drive, and E would be my data drive. Now, what happens when I'd boot to Vista? Would Vista's sysvol be C, XP's be D, and then my data drive still be E? It's important to note that my second physical drive will be pulled from the system until both OSes are fully installed.
