I bought a new computer with Vista installed on it. I have an old computer with xp on it. I plan to add the old hard drive with xp to my new computer so I would have both hard drives and both O.S. on one computer. I would like to have a dual boot option between the two systems/hard drives. If this is possible can someone give me some detailed instructions on how to achieve it. Thanks in advance for your help. -- lucky one |

At first, the XP was not installed on the new hardware, and second, the XP should only work from the place he was installed, most the first drive and the first partition. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Jawade.
