Can anyone please tell me: if I buy a machine that has Vista preinstalled can I then partition the hard drive and install XP on the second partition?
Big Thanks.
Colwyn.

The far easier option is to get a second HD and then install on that. Don't forget that with either route you will need either a new OEM copy of XP or an existing full retail version. You can not install your old OEM copy that came with your old PC.

It CAN be done, and lots of people do. Why would you not recommend it?
