I have Vista Home on my computer and want to install Windows XP Professional and be able to run both systems.?
The easiest way is to format the system partition and install Windows Xp and then Vista. If you install Xp after Vista you might have to edit BOOT.INI manually. I beleave Vista will not allow you installing Xp when it's runnning. So you need a bootable XP (and Vista Home) CD/DVD. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Actually it is possible to run both Windows XP and Windows Vista on the same computer but you will have to set up a Dual Boot setting up 2 partitions, formatting them to NTFS format, then installing XP on the first partition then Vista on the second. Hope I could help ~Dalton-sama
