I have a windows vista laptop with 1Gb of ram and want to have xp on too. Does any know how to do this ? I have a xp home edition upgrade disk could i us that? Thanks.
You might want to try virtualbox, it's a free virtual program. And it's fairly easy to use, I installed another operating system on the virtualbox, the same day I downloaded the program. I'm new to it, but see it as a definite alternative to dual booting. It worked fine, and when you have the virtualbox OS on fullscreen it looks and works like a regular OS and I had no problem connecting to the internet from within the virtual box. That would be the easiest and safest way of installing xp on your vista computer, without modifying or damaging the vista boot installation. When dual booting vista and xp, the recommendation is for xp to be installed first, then vista added later. I wouldn't recommend a dual boot, unless you know how to recover from a damaged boot sector. http://www.virtualbox.org/
