    Dual Boot Issues

    Hi guys.

    My brother is currently running 2 operating systems on his computer, he had originally installed Vista 64 bit on his C drive and subsequently installed all of his games and programs etc. He then installed windows 7 64 bit on his D drive, when he boots into windows 7 he cannot gain access to any of his programs originally installed under Vista.
    He obviously doesn't want to reinstall those games and programs again under windows 7 as it will be a waste of hard drive space/time etc.

    Any ideas ??,

    He'll have to reinstall them separately. Why bother dual booting the two in the first place? To me, that seems much more of a waste of disk space than anything else.

    Especially with 2 64 bit systems, there is honestly no point.
