Dual boot again

Posted: 02-19-2007, 12:39 PM
I have a laptop with vista home premium on it. Whayt I should have got is on
with xp and upgraded later. I want to be able to put xp on as dual boot as I
two bit's of hardware that won't work with vista and no determined time of
new drivers yet.

Problem is vista that came with laptop is a ghost like disk so will only
take me back to step 1 and wipe out any win xp I may install.

I need to be able to install xp after vista but i think this wipes the vista
boot record so will not work. Is there anyway round this so I can put xp on
after vista is already on.
