How do I dual boot?

[Aliboy]

Greetings peeps,

I've just bought myself a second hard drive as I want to keep it just for my business software, email and internet access etc. The thing is, I quite like xp home (I have that on my first hard drive) and I'd like to have that installed too but ...... how do I go about starting the dual boot malarky. Do I just pop in my xp disk and I'll see options of which drive I'd like to install that to? I didn't want to try it incase I ballsed something up

Many thanks

Al

Yes, boot from the XP disk and choose to do a new install on a different drive/partition. you get the choice then on bootup

Yeah just create a partition wherever you want the second OS to be. 20GB is recommended for XP or Vista.
