Default Driver updates/dual boot?

Does updating the graphics drivers cause a conflict between Windows and vista if you have a dual boot system?? 1 Hardrive and a partition containg both Os's??

Can it casue problems?

No, the drivers are separate just like the OSes.

Yep, when you installed the first OS, it either had the drivers in it's DB files, or you installed it separately. Same with the second OS, it already had it or you had to install them.

If you update, delete, rename, or install a driver let's say in XP (2nd boot OS),
it won't affect the 1st OS (Vista) at all. Two totally separate Operating Systems and their files.

Can one OS see/use a file contained on the other partition? Sure it can, but
you have to direct it to use that file etc.
