Hi,

I am a Student and new to this forum. I have a laptop which is vista integrated i.e. I had bought the laptop with vista itself. My laptop version is HP dv2760tx.

I want to have a partition in the disk and have XP in it.

I wanted to know that is it possible? and How should I do it?

Please help.

Jay

It is possible.

By shrinking your current C: partition, it will create new space on your drive for a new partition.

When I first read your post I thought you would have trouble because many manufacturers no longer support XP and its drivers. A lot of people have issues downgrading. Here are a list of drivers however for you pc (XP).
