Dual boot Win7 & XP?

[MeNeZ]

Hi,

I already have win7 installed and need to also run XP. From what I have read, I have to have XP installed first and then create a new partition for Win7...But I dont want to re-install... :wtf:

Any ideas on how to how to do it without re-installing?

I did it but with catastrophic consequences... But I'm a noob so don't panic...

Google it, there's a lot of literature out there on the procedure

Doesn't Windows 7 have a Windows XP compatibility mode, so that you can run all Win XP programs with (almost) no problems??

IIRC, Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate, even allows you to run XP on a virtual machine, inside of Windows 7...

Just regurgitating what I've read... not sure about it though...

Jip, that's the route you're could take IMO.

I hope you not like me, with a processor that does not support virtual stuff....

Mine supports VT so no issues on a 64-bit platform - you can always try VirtualBox or VMWare (or MS VPC)
