How can I make it so my Dell Laptop runs XP as well as Vista. I like Vista and want to keep it, but I have the option to work from home if I'm XP compatible.

  1. I don't think that's possible.


  2. u must use advance softwers like OS Selector

    Download it from

    first install XP

    then u can install vista by using os selector

  3. you can load both systems on your hard drive and choose which to boot at startup. Most newer computers come with a "Downgrade" option for people who prefer XP, so you may be able to get a disk somewhat underhandedly, but still have both loaded on your system. Just tell whomever you bought the system from you're not comfortable with the Vista interface and you keep losing at Chess Titans and you'd rather have XP and you might get the hookup!

  4. you mean a duel boot?

    well i would first install xp, and install vista, however if you want a duel boot, you have to get the upgrade version of vista...

    but you cant have 2 O.S run at the same time...


  5. You need to Partition your disks (hard drive). Partitioning seperates your hard drive into different parts. In your case 2 because you want Vista AND XP. Partitioning can take some computer know-how. and you also need legal copies of both Vista and XP. because you need to install the OS on each partition.

    There are some small risks to Partitioning, and the only way to undo it is to fully format your HDD (hard drive) and re-install the OS (Vista or XP) you want.
