I have Vista as the OS now but want to install XP also. I have Vista on
C: and will put XP on H: is there a tutorial on how to do this or
anything else I could use to get this accomplished. Thank You for any help.
Are C and H partitions on the same disk, or is H on a different disk?
If H is on a different disk, and if you can choose which disk to boot
from in your computer's BIOS there is no need to setup a dual boot.
You merely boot to H, install XP there, and when you want to run
Vista, you reset the boot order during a restart.
Although if he has the two operating system on two different drives,
what you suggest is true, and there's no *need* to set up a dual-boot
system, most people would still find it easier to do so.
It's considerably easier to be automatically given a boot menu and
choose which operating system you want, than to have to go into the
BIOS setup program to change it each time.
