Dual operating system

[mrajanikrishna]

Hi friends,

I am having one system with Vista home edition installed. I want to
install XP Prof also in that means dual O/S. Because I have one
graphics s/w which runs in XP only. They didnt develop drivers for
vista. So I must use XP only at the sametime I want to use Vista for
other applications.
Can I install XP on a system which is already running Vista?

If so how can I install?

Thanks in advance

Consider Virtual PC, that way you avoid the embarresment of having your
Vista restore points and shadow copies deleted when you boot in to XP.

I installed VPC 2007 on Vista Home Premium - The installer says it's
not compatible with my system ( or something like that ) - The DSL
connection was instantely killed ( and restored when I uninstalled )
And Yes , I have the final version ....

VPC is not SUPPORTED on Vista Home Premium, but you can install it and run
it.
It runs fine on my VHP.
