Hi,
Yes it's possible. Actually, it's easy. Install the drive - you do not need to partition or format it at this point. Boot the system with the Win7 disk and during setup, select the new drive for the installation location. Setup will allow you to partition and format at this point. Boot files will be installed to the original drive and should setup the dual boot choice for you once the installation completes. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "J" wrote in message ...
