Why not install Windows 7 and then the XP VM machine that is downloadable from MS? Either that or VMWare server. There are some utilities out there to clone from real to virtual so you don't lose anything.Last edited by GastonJ; 10 September, 2011, 15:14.My master plan is to live forever..... going to plan so far

To have both programs on the computer is called dual boot - Install the spare drive in your computer and select that drive when your installing Win 7 - download a program called bootloader from the internet run the program and when your computer is starting you will be able to select the program you want to run.Comment
