Partitioning and dual boot Win7 and XP

[piaqt]

2. How would the BIOS decide as to what OS to start-up? I believe that I would be presented with an option upon boot up, but is this an automatically created option put out by the BIOS or is there more involved, i.e.. do I have to make some sort of changes so the option is presented?

Run msconfig. On the boot tab, select how you want your system to boot. The MSKB should have a bunch of info on this.

And may the SCHWARTZ be with you.
