Trying to setup up duel OS Vista Frustrated 6/3/2007 5:33:01 PM Having difficulties with new Vista desktop system. I would like to add Windows XP as a duel OS to choose when booting. Is it possible to add a lower OS to Vista? If so, please send detailed steps.

You've multiposted this same message in several newsgroups, that is sending separate messages to each group. Next time please, if sending to more than one group, do it by crossposting, sending one message to all groups at the same time. Otherwise there is duplication of effort and folks in one newsgroup don't get to see the replies in another one. I replied in vista.general with specific info and links. Thanks. -- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell]
