Why dual boot between XBMC live and Win 7? Why not just run it under Win 7?

Because (for what i've learned about xbmc so far) it runs smoother/faste on xbmc live,
faster bootups thats for sure. I have not tested it. |

Hi Geeba, try to do the following: Format your HDD with the windows 7 install dvd, Install Windows 7 on a part of your hdd (so leave a piece of it unformatted). Then install XBMC live on the unformatted space; grub will make the right menu.lst. Other option: Install windows 7 on your hdd, use a 4GB usb to put xbmc live on, if you want to boot xbmc live, insert the usb and boot from usb. If you want to boot windows 7, just pull out the usb and boot... So it should be real easy. Let me know
