question about dualbooting 7/vista

right now im dualbooting with vista 64bit and windows 7 32-bit without any problems. i have each on a seperate partition, vista with 200 gb and windows 7 with 100gb.

i dont know if its possible, but if i have a game installed on one partition (vista partition) or even a file like music or something can i use it through windows 7? is there a way i can get access to the files on the other partition? i can see the partition through my computer on the vista OS but not through the windows 7 OS.

if i cant, i dont really care ill just put everything on the two partitions.

thanks

 

Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Disk Management and then assign the Vista partition a drive letter. You'll be able to share files just fine, but you'll have to install games (to the the vista partition, so you don't get 2 copies of the game on your computer).

 

alright thanks alot man, ill try and firure that out now.

so are you saying i have to reinstall the game? i already had cod4 installed before i put on windows 7. does it matter which OS i install the game in? if i install it from windows 7 to the vista partition, can i play it through both OS's like that?

thanks again.

 

alright it works, thanks man.

just a problem with the games and programs, but i can get access to all files like music and documents.

so how can i share programs between the OS's

thanks

 

Did you try installing programs to the path of E:/Program Files/... or whatever drive letter you assigned your Vista partition while in Windows 7?

But don't uninstall it from Vista, that would just make it unplayable in Vista.

 

ok i think i know what your saying. if its installed in vista, should i reinstall it in windows 7, but install it to the vista partition so the files are in the same place. but i can play it on both OS's?

if it is im going to try that.

 

Exactly

 

alright thanks man, rep+. im trying it right now with cod4 and itunes.
