Can anyone tell me how to do this or link me to a page with instructions?


I have just tried to do it by installing xp x64 on a separate partition but it would not let me boot from either one due to a file being missing, i had to use xp pro recovery console and use fixboot/ fixmbr commands

I know this is probably simplew to do but it is my 1st time so any help would be appreciated

1. Use partition magic or a similar program to create a new PRIMARY partition if using only one drive.

2. Install the new OS on the new partition.

3. Next time you boot the computer you will be able to choose which os to load.

It really is that simple.
