games >> Installing XP and Vista on same computer

With so many difficulties with installing and playing games on Vista, is it
possible to have both XP and Vista installed on the same computer? I am
getting a new Dell 420 with a 500 GB hard drive, Quad Core Processor, and 3GB
of RAM. I was going to take a relatively new hard drive from my old computer
and install it in the Dell 420 so I would have two hard drives. Could I
install XP on the other hard drive and play my games from there with the same
functionality that I have with my older desktop that runs XP SP2?

Sure you can. No problem. I assume you are going to do a fresh install of
XP. Here is a walkthrough on how to do it.

Since you will be using a separate hard drive, you can just skip to the part
where it says to install Windows XP and continue from there. You have to add
it to the boot menu.

All in all, it's not that difficult.
