Hi is it possible to dual boot windows 7 & XP pro? I am running win. 7 home premium on a desktop with AMD PHENOM QUAD CORE processor with a SATA motherboard and 1tb hard drive and a 500gb hard drive (2) with 3gb ram.
Can I install XP pro on the second drive and have the option of which O/S to load?
 
Yeah "bobmac322" i run windows 7 pro on 1tb and windows XP on a 500 gb it runs well and i just switch the hard drive boot order in the bios whenever i want to go into either 7 or XP.
 
No worries mate if you just want to install it without having having to follow those steps in the link john posted do the following

1. Remove the windows 7 drive sata port from the Hard drive
2. Connect the new 500 gb soon to be windows xp hard drive
3. Install Win Xp Pro on the 500 gb Hard drive
4. Re connect the windows 7 drive to the computer
5. Happy computing!
