Vista/Suse dual boot

Stan_Lite · 05-06-2007, 07:03

I've ordered Vista premium for my gaming rig. It's currently a dual boot system running XP Home in dual boot with Suse 10.2.

I am changing the motherboard so I won't be able to use the current OEM XP, so I decided to try Vista. The rig will easily be able to run it - the spec is:

Q6600 quad core CPU, 2Gb pc8500 RAM, 320Gb HDD, BFG GeForce 8800 GTX OC2.

The hard drive has 3 partitions - 1 has the Suse installation and 1 has the Windows installation, the other is formatted as NTFS for use with Windows (mostly games).

My question is:
Will I just be able to replace the XP installation with Vista and keep the Suse installation as it is or will I have to start from scratch and re-install Suse after Vista?
