hello all,
i am trying to install another os on my computer, but preferably i wouldnt like to get rid of the old vista (initially installed on the laptop) as of yet, so could anybody explain the process of putting a new windows xp along with the vista, from what i know is i have to allocate some ammount of space for it with partition software (partition magic i guess)...and then point to it while installing xp.
please educate me on how to make this partition and could it affect the root/file system in anyway of vista, and if i have the drive divided in two c: and d:, obviously c is a system drive, where i would like xp to exist) how about d? would new xp see the d drive as normal?
cheers and thanks in advance,
