Thanks Bux. I'm actually running Windows 7 just fine (it seems pretty good thus far), and as mama didn't raise no fool, I'm keeping XP. It's not final, it's not official, and so I have no desire to play dice with that sort of thing. I was just asking about my being able to run a program from another drive with an OS from another drive with another OS. In retrospect, it does seem to be against the "rules," but it would have been nice to not have to run around finding all the discs for my apps. Thanks just the same!

I recently downloaded the Windows 7 RC, and I had a hard drive set aside for it. It's my smallest one, being only 150GB, which would normally be fine for my OS uses. The problem I've hit is that my program folder is huge, as are all my various document folders, so a simple file transfer won't work. What I'd like to do is run my programs off of my main drive, which runs XP, and my storage drive. Just trying to run the programs doesn't seem to work, and I'd really hate to have to go and buy another copy of my anti-virus program and the like. At the very least, I'd like to just get my regular programs to work, as I can always scan the Win7 drive via XP. If this sort of question has been posted before, please forgive me, as I my search-fu is weak, especially since I don't know exactly how to phrase what I want.
