Anyone done this.
Just had to install XP as well as XP64 because of some compatibility issues. Now I need to get CP running on the XP partition. The XP64 was running 32 bit Boinc. Think I know how to transfer the WUs across without loss but is it possible to put the data somewhere centrally and have both OS\'s accessing it however the machine is booted.

Hi there,

BOINC does not allow having a separate folder/partition for data; all goes in one folder and it\'s subfolders.
Even when you edit appropriate .xml files etc, new WU will go to the default folder.
I suggest to simply put BOINC folder to a place where both OSes have access.

Interesting problem; don\'t think we\'ve encountered it before. (For me, at least, Dual boot has always meant Win/Linux.)

Because of Registry entries, it seems a re-install of boinc would be required to get it running in the second OS.

Any M$/boinc experts know whether entries from one OS\' Registry would be required for the other OS? (In other words, I don\'t know if there is any dynamic updating of the Registry by boinc or CPDN.)

Best of luck.

Edit: Sent a message to Rom Walton asking advice.

Edit2: Rom replied by email:
Should be any problem...

BOINC should find and execute everything okay without any registry changes.

BOINC Manager will reset its preferences, but that is about all.

Top replys, thanks for checking it out with Rom. I\'ll wait for a couple of 90% sulphurs to complete and give it a go. It occurs to me that the computer name will have to be identical in both partitions to avoid a new BOINC ID and any validation issues.
