January 23, 201214 yr I've allready got my computer up and running with Win 7 64 bit, but I will need to install Win XP as well. I've got some old scanners and printers that need XP drivers to run.I'm torn between a dual boot setup, or if I should just install XP on a separate drive and use the BIOS to change boot drive those few times I need to run XP...?

January 24, 201214 yr If you can install the 2nd drive alongside the first then you can still dual boot without having to have both OS on the same drive or mess with BIOS.You need to bear in mind though that one of the drives will have the bootmanager installed on it. Will be the first drive installed as if it was installed on the 2nd then removing the 2nd drive would prevent the first from booting. You shouldnt have to worry though unless you remove the first leaving the 2nd!This has some info for youhttp://www.sevenforu...ndows-7-xp.html Edited January 24, 201214 yr by graham3278
