Installing XP with Vista

Hi
i have a HP Pavillion DV7 laptop with Vista 64x. I want to install Windows XP so I can choose which operating system to start up with. Is it possible? If so how?

Hi,

This is very possible and has been done by many people. Visit this website for details: How to dual boot Vista and XP (with Vista installed first) -- the step-by-step guide with screenshots

If you have any problems or questions, then just ask me, because making a mistake can lead to big problems and data loss.

On the Second page of this tutorial, use Option 3 - Using Disk Management at the bottom of the page, not gparted or diskpart. You will also not need to follow Page 5 - Removing Windows XP at this point!

Thanks Man Il try it n let u know!

We also have our own Tutorial on this: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/224397-dual-boot-installation-windows-vista-xp.html

You will need to follow Method Two.

Thanks Dwarf. I thought I had seen one around these parts, but could I find it? No. It is also quite a bit clearer than the one I recommended, good ol' Brink.
