dual boot/logical drive

I want to dual boot my current Vista Os along with server 2008 r2. Does the partition for the second OS (server 2008) need to be on a primary partition or can I just use a logical drive to run the second os?
It would be much simpler to use a logical drive if possible since all I need to do is to shrink the partition volume and create another logical drive.

Thanks

Re: dual boot/logical drive

If I remember right, I believe it has to be a primary partition.

Re: dual boot/logical drive

Windows must be installed to a Primary Partition. It doesnt matter which version.
