Hey gang, It's been awhile and I've got a question regarding running multiple Operating Systems and FSX.
How do you guys running both OS's run FSX ?
I currently have XP on one drive and FSX on another. I just installed a 3rd drive with W7 and was curious how I should run FSX. Do I install FSX again under W7 and can I use the drive reserved for FSX now, but in another directory ?

Thanks for any input,
jimme

scenery -- Flight Sim (9 or X) will read the scenery from the drive that it is on with the operating system that is running it.

example. C:/XP/FSX will only pull scenery from the C:/XP/FSX scenery files, while the E:/W7/FSX will only pull scenery from the E:/W7/FSX scenery files.

FSX can not read certain files across harddrives (other than the FSX.CFG and Documents and Settings/Flight Simulator X Files [weather and flight plans])


Both drives would contain their own respective files for FSX.CFG and weather/flight plans.


This is only my understanding, but if Opa, Patchz or someone with more experience would like to enlighten us both, I am willing to learn.





I have FS9 and FSX both loaded to an external USB HDD (E:) but I am only running 1 Operating System; W7.  therefore, FSX can read the FSX.CFG that is burried in my C: because it is all operating under the same system.   If you have 2 drives, each with its own "system" they are in essence TOTALLY SEPARATE from each other, and operate and behave totally different and independently from each other.
