Windows 8 on logical drive

[dark_angel]

I imagine this will work but just after others thoughts

I currently have a gigabyte netbook that is touchscreen. It come with windows 7 installed but the hardrive was partitioned so it had 32bit win 7 and 64bit win 7 installed. Was odd but i just left it.

I want to try win 8 to see how well the touch goes on it.

I have 5 partitions -
recovery partition
boot partition
c partition (win 7 32 bit installed)

d partition (win 7 64 bit installed) logical drive extended partition
e drive (data drive) logical drive extended partition

If i was to just boot from win 8 dvd and install to d partition would this work fine and i'd be able to choose win 8 or win 7.

Just wanted to clarifiy i have it correct

yea it would dual boot that way.

But (i'm sure you know this) you'd lose the OS you now have on D:

Just run it in a Virtual Machine. You don't have to bother with Bootloader then.
