I upgraded my mac drive and removed the working Hitachi 7200/320GB hard drive.

On a whim I put it in my Asus Eee PC 1000HD and was surprised it fired W7 right up. I went in Disc Managment and saw that SL was on the drive.

Q: Is there anyway that I can modify the existing OS's on the drive and use it as bootable duo system?

Q: If not, can I keep the SL on it and install W-7, or visa versa?

I thought why not ask to find out the possibilities before going through the install hacks to obtain a duo boot on this small laptop.;)

I appreciate your suggestions, comments and responses.:)
