I would like to add Win7 to a complex system including XP and MS DOS. My configuration is:
C: MS DOS, where I also keep my XP NTLDR files for manual editing
D: FreeDOS
E: DOS data files
F: XP PageFile space
G: Reserved for Win7 installation
H: Main XP System
I: Alternate XP system with different desktop configuration.
J: General NTFS data storage
K: Specific NTFS data storage
L: Barebones XP for purpose of access and repair of other XP systems
Question. If I install the Win7 on logical drive G, will that affect my XP loader files on the C drive, and will Win7 try to eat up my legacy stuff? Should I look at virtualization to isolate the Win7 and avoid predation problems?
