Solved How to have Vista and XP

Hi is it possible to install XP and Vista on one hard drive..let me know if it is and how to install it because some of the software wont run on Vista...thanks for any help

Welcome to the forums Nermin.

Yes it is possible to run both XP and Vista on the same hard drive.

Why you would want to is the big question. What software will not work for you? Most of us here run x64 Vista and everything works.

Tell us the problem and perhaps we can help you.

Which printer?

Canon?
HP?
Samsung?
Lexmark?

Try visiting the manufaturer's website to download Vista certified drivers and utility software (if any) for your specifc printer.

Dzomlija thank you very much i found drivers for my printer...you are the best man

Glad to see you found your drivers. You should be able to find all your drivers as well as all the patches for all your software to be able to run everything on Vista.

Worse case you could run XP as a dual boot or better yet run XP from a virtual machine.

But if everything is working in Vista...your cool.

Thanks dude very much
