Due to Vista's serious lack of drivers for old software (and being a tad slow at times) i have wondered if it was worth installing XP on a separate 40Gb HDD.... can that work? If so what must I do?

any advice appreciated!

I haven't done a dual boot of xp and vista but I found this tutorial online. Ensure you back up your files first in case something wrong happens.

Thanks! That tutorial is really good and simple. Only problem is Vista wont let me partition my hard drive any more that 1304mb.... even though i have plenty of free space left, it says if i remove page files i can make it bigger.... but what are page files?

Another question. If I plug in an additional hard drive, install vista and xp on that one, with a partition of course, and set it as the drive to boot from.... will that work?
