If it's a simple re-install on the same computer, and only installed once at any given time, it would be as simple as re-activating, or making the famous 5 minute phone call.
Technically, I believe this would be a violation of the EULA, but I don't know for sure. What would be the reasoning to install the same OS twice on the same computer?
If you want a backup, use a drive imaging program, such as Ghost.
If you want to keep one install slimmed down for...
I prefer Vista x64 over even Vista x86, so that's what I'd go with. Assuming this system can handle Vista x64, it could easily handle running XP in a Virtual PC 2007 session for any old application compatibility issues.
Office 2007 isn't slower or more laggy than Office 2003 on any half decen system. The problem you are likely having with Excel has an easy fix, I believe do in part to Adobe Acrobat Reader. My dad had an issue where Excel files took over a minute to open, if you tried opening the file...
I'll play devil's advocate for a second. Let's assume Microsoft put both DVDs in the box for all versions (retail). What percentage of the people would use x64, or even have a clue what the differences were? Look at several advanced computing forums, and see how many people still have to ask...
In some other forums, the icon by the thread is different for threads that I've replied to, versus ones I have not. I see the orange circle attached for threads with new messages, but nothing corresponds to my replies. Is this an option somewhere, or just not available on here? Thanks!
Close. Most people keep one rack in place, and then just slide in the cage holding the OS they want to boot from. You could keep the IDE drive installed in your case as a storage drive, and use the Vantec rack to hold one of your two SATA drives, that would hold each OS. Just be sure to...
Most hardware out there has both platform drivers available, if they offer Vista drivers. Hardware probably isn't going to be the issue. The vast majority of applications work fine under either platform of Vista. Considering 4 GB will be the norm during Vista's lifespan, unless you have a...
I think he means something like this:

I have one of them in a tower at work, with 4 total cages. I can have any one of four OSes running on that computer for testing. I have each cage labeled with the OS, so I can put on Vista, XP...
It's actually pretty simple. This is your classic dual boot situation. You have XP running on the 120 already. Now, with the 500 GB drive installed and unformatted, boot from your Vista DVD. Follow the normal install steps, just make sure you point Vista to the 500 GB drive. When you're...
I've read several situations where no XP drivers are available for some new laptops. My suggestion is to load VIsta on the laptop, and then run XP in Virtual PC 2007.
