Partitioning Windows Vista/7 for 8

This time I'm teaching you how to Partition ur HDD so u can run both OS's on ur machine. This will give u a Boot Manager so u can select which OS u want to choice. This is what ppl call "Dual Booting" or "Multi Booting" if u have more then 2 OS's. I do like the new Windows 8 Boot Manager. More GUI like then the old black screen with white text that look like it was still using DOS.

I recommend this more the Upgrading. A lot less buggier when using this.. However, the more OS's on ur Hard Drive, the more chance of errors. But the upgrade from Vista to 7 or Vista/7 to 8 can give u buggy performance too.

I highly recommend multiple HDDs and using Boot Options if u want to run only Windows. Every OS is using only the 1 HDD or 1 partation of that HDD and everything on the others.

If u want to run some type of boot manager instead of Pressing F12 and find which one is the HDD that uses that OS. Then u need to install Linux and use it's GRUB to run everything for u.

I'll teach u how to use Boot Options on ur Startup screen and Liniux's Grub on the next video.

*Edit*

Today, ppl now mostly use Vista/7/8, mostly Win7, and those 3 have a boot manager program called "bcdedit" when u run it on Command Prompt and also a program called EasyBCD. I'll teach u how to install ur Windows OS's by either Window 7/8's BCDedit on Command Prompt or EasyBCD, which both require Admin privileges.
