I have been given a Windows xp Home Edition and was wondering if i can have it on my computer as well as Windows 7. Also i have other disc's for other Windows OS like Windows 2000.

Hi Russ,Yes you can Dual Boot Windows Xp alongside Windows 7 but why would you want too?

If its just to play around on the older OS,s then why not install them in a Virtual Machine?

VirtualBox is what i use.

Heres a guide on how to do it though if you really want to Dual boot,Beware though if not done right you could mess up your current install of 7.
