Muel Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 You can do it easily, I used to have XP on one and Ubuntu on the other.You can actually use one hard drive and have both installed on it, I don't no how you choose which one you want when you boot up, but I think it lets you share your documents and stuff.

Danny Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Yes you can. Install xp on the first drive then vista on the second and the vista setup will sort out the bootloader so you get to choose which. Quite why you would want to run both though i don't know.If your feeling adventurous you could always try this http://www.microsoft.com/uk/windows/window...a-download.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would try it but I'm a lazy mofo.But apparently 7 will come in all the different versions like vista did, which I think is stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
