Installing Windows XP, next to Windows 7, so that I can open it from Windows 7

[Shinnen]

Hi all,
My desktop has Windows 7 (home) installed on it; but it will not open my PlayBook, a common problem I understand;
so, I would like to install Windws XP on the same drive, in a way that allows me to access XP from Windows 7.
Is this possible?.

You would have to create a dual boot installation. It will be a little bit more involved since you already have 7 on there. Google search "how to create a dual boot with windows xp and windows 7 with windows 7 already installed".

Are you positive that the software isn't compatible with windows 7? Have you tried changing the compatibility options? I can post more instructions when I get home from work.
