    Hi,

    Thinking about reconfiguring my machine with a fresh Vista install and Win2000. I need Win2000 to run ACAD 14 only. I've never done Dual OS or Dual Boot so don't how to go about it. Also, I'm concerned that 2000 won't recognize my SATA HD and/or other more contemporary hardware.

    Any advice? Thoughts?

    Thanks guys.

    When you use the F6 option (you'll be asked during the setup routine to press F6 if you want to load drivers) to load the SATA drivers from the floppy they'll be loaded into Windows, so yea, just for the install.
