Hi everyone.
Just have a question for you all.
Here is my scenario:
New computer, 200GB HDD without partition and Windows Vista RC1 installed
Is it possible to partition the hard drive, then have windows vista installed on D drive and then install XP on the newly created C drive?

We had something similar going with one of our old desktops. After the system loading screen a list comes up with "Select which Operating System to load", or similar. If you don't make up your mind within
x amount of time ( I think it was 30 seconds...) it chooses the highlighted option for you.

i think what brownbox is asking is whether he can partition his hard disk and keep the vista OS on it
the answer is yes, but only with special partition software which isn't cheap.

oh well you're set then. you should be able to partition the hard disk, but i'm not exactly sure how to go about it. maybe search for a guide on google?
