So if you boot from D the programs you run are really on another disk. Think about it. You are better off using a program like Disk Image and imaging your C-drive to e. This image is a compressed version of only the used parts of the imaged partition, e. You could keep a "virgin" install as one image, an image of your current installation as another one. Definitely always make another image before you install any new software.
On a decent system, an image takes only a few minutes. You can even burn them on CD's, spread over more than one if needed. PS: Why did you start a new post?

BillGates said:. Click to expand Can we password protect these drives? Great site. I stumbled into this site while researching a remedy for my dilemma.
I work at a fire house and we upwards of 24 firefighters share one private pc. One can only imagine the many issues involved here. I have quite a few questions concerning on how this works. I use many adapters that require different drivers depending on 10 or 7, many different methods for old game fixes and I use certain software like Rollback Home Rx which creates snapshot restore points rather than using the built-in windows restore.
Would you be capable of installing Rollback Rx Home on both drives or using Aomei Backupper to create system backups with no conflicts? Can you set the boot to seal off certain partitions or hard drives so there should be no conflicts? Also, can I use the same serial key I used for my Windows 10 for the Windows 7?

At first I tried installing it with the 3 hard drives plugged in but after win 7 copied its files over and restarted I got the "Insert System Disk and Press Enter".
So I tried installing it again but it ended up the same way, so I unplugged the other hard drives and installed windows 7 Pro on the new hard drive. So now it loads win 7 on power up and the only way for me to access XP is to change the boot order in bios or pressing F I tried installing win 7 again with all 3 sata hard drives plugged in but it still won't give me the dual boot menu.
So my question is, is there another way to manually add XP to the windows 7 boot manager?
