will be using the d drive. does anyone know of any issues regarding this
type of setup?

moondaddy@.nospam.nospamHi Moondaddy,
Do you mean, for example, that you have Windows XP and Windows Server 2003
on the same machine and you want to install VS2005 and SQL2005 on the D
drive for both these two system to limit the used disk space?
If so, I am afraid this is not a supported way doing so, the register keys
might go wrong for both systems. We may also check whether other
communities has the same experience below
Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. We are always here to be of
assistance!

as a clean test machine for testing installs. when I'm done with the test,
I restore it from a ghost. I had an extra d drive I wanted to use as a 2nd
boot drive also running winxp. I wanted to run VS 2005 Team Architect, sql
2005 and WinFX as an alternate dev machine as I can't take a chance on
messing up my current dev machine where I'm running VS 2005 and SQL Server
2000 and reporting services. I can't take a chance on anything going wrong
on this main machine.
so back to the original question, would there be any issues running VS 2005
Team Architect, sql 2005 and WinFX on the d drive as the 2nd boot drive in a
dual boot system?

Thanks for your clarification!
For now, I have searched internal knowledge bases and do not find any
articles talking about doing so. I am sorry to say but we do not support
such kind of installation offcially.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
