Default Question about Dual boot.

Right now I am running windows vista 64x on a 500gb hard drive.

I am wondering if I buy another hard drive and put windows 7 on it can I load up windows 7 and retrieve all my data from the hard drive with vista 64x on it?

Yep, if you install, you'll be given a choice of which OS to boot into. Boot into Win7, transfer data, then format the other drive

Awesome, I wasn't sure if while in Windows 7 if the hard drive that windows vista was install on would show up or if i could transfer data from it to my hard drive with windows 7.
