Can i change my operating system from windows vista to windows xp, how and can i keep both operating systems .

Hi Rajesh,

Yes, u can make a dual boot but i dont think u have to give preference to VISTA its lot of space consuming thing, but its ur wish.



The following things u have to consider to dual boot.



1. get 2 empty DVD's

2. in command prompt type RECOVERY, there u get a menu

3. take the recovery it takes some time it needs 2 dvds for recovery of vista , as the system is given to u preloaded, and u need this for ur dual boot

4. After this is done format the disk and during the XP installation format the partition with ntfs and make a partition for vista (30gb) and then install the XP in C:

5. Once Xp is done, insert the Vista DVD - 1 and restart the system.

6. Install the Vista in D:

think this is enough information u got



for any Queries message me at (moola_2k1@yahoo.com), i will respond to u there.



Friendly,
