vs 2005 beta

I want to format my laptop and partition the hard drive so that I can
have Visual Studio 2003 on one partition and the Visual Studio 2005 Beta
on the other. I've heard that having both versions on the same
partition can cause problems and I don't want to end up having all sorts
of problems with VS 2003 on my machine. I'm wondering whether if I do
this and install my copy of Windows XP Pro on both partitions will it
complain when I try to register it on the second partition, saying that
my copy is already registered?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers,

Mike

If you have the VS2005 Beta you are probably an MSDN customer yes?

Why not use Virtual PC which is available to MSDN users?

Where have you heard this?

I have 2002, 2003 and 2005 installed on the same computer, the same
partition. No Problems !!

I'm not an MSDN customer, so I can't do that.

I am having a problem with Web service program which is develop in VS 2003.
After I installed 05 beta framework, all the application mappings for .Net
extension under IIS 2000 are using 05's aspnet_isapi.dll, and I can not run
under Web Service in debug mode in VS 03. At result, I have to uninstall 05
betea framework as well as VS 05.

Problems will come! Be patient! Just try to uninstall the Beta. Or try to
install SQL Yukon!

I suppose the best things to do is to backup all your projects to CD
before thinking about installing the betas.

Have you thought about using a virtual machine ?
Something like Vmware.

You can install a version of XP (or another version) within your main OS and
install any beta software on it.
Then, when you are finished, you can just delete the virtual machine without
affecting your main OS.
(You can also do snapshots to return the guest OS to a predetermined state
i.e. prior to installing any deta software).

I run XP within Linux on my laptop. I've got VS.Net 2003 installed on it and
have no problems.
