Hello .. I'm upgrading a Field PG M2, and I would like to know how do not to have conflict of software. I need to use the softwares: WinCC2008, TIA V11, STEP7 V5.5, MicroWin 4.0 SP9, SETP 5 V7.2, Protool SP3+HF3, Drive ES V5.5, Profibus Config V5.1, V7.3 HMI Advanced.
 I intend to use three partitions: Windows 7, Windows XP for SETP 5 Operations and old softwares and other Windows XP only for Sinumerik softwares (802, 810, 840D tool boxes).

Hi,

I would make two partitions: Windows XP first with all software packages except the TIA.
On second partition Win7 and the TIA only.
I dont see the need of having a third partition with Win XP.

It's all up to you!

Regards.

OK...
        I used one little of each, and I mounted a new hard disk with five partitions:

First Partition (100GB) - Windows Seven: for new Simatic softwares

Second Partition (100GB) - Windows XP: for old simatic softwares, and others that I use, also with Virtual PC with MS-DOS 6.22 for IBS and PCIN 4.2 Softwares. ( I did one cpu to Step 5 too).

Third Partition (20GB) - Windows XP only to Sinumerik operations (HMI Advanced for example).

Fourth Partition (180GB) - Data Partition.

Fifth Partition (100GB) -  Recovery Partition (backup).

To this moment I tested all softwares and all right with all..

Thanks guys!

I have not used OS Manager software, but guess that I would use Acronis OS Selector!

I created all the partitions in the installation of Windows Seven. First I installed all the systems (win7 + winxp1 + winxp2). After I installed Acronis True Image software on Windows Seven and activated the Recovery Manager Startp. Then the system reboots I made a backup of each important point for security.
Everything worked normal ... I have two menus, the boot system Windows 7, and after XP menu.
