Noob dual boot question

Hi there

I was wondering can I put XP and Vista on a single Raptor 74GB?

I was thinking of getting vista for the Directx 10 games like Bioshock and Crysis. Is this easy to do, what software if any do I need to do it, and what are the pro's and con's if any?

Thanks.

out of interest why not just upgrade to vista?

I've been told rightly or wrongly that it is not that great. I don't know much about it I like XP to be honest.

I wrote this guide for some one else, but you may find it useful.

At a guess, you already have the Raptor as a single partition. If that is so, use a partitioning program like Partition Magic to devide the drive into 2. If you have some un-partitioned space at present, you can right click on My Computer, then go to Manage, then in the left pane click on disk management, then right click on any unpartitioned space and create the partition. Finally continue from step 2 of the guide I made.

Hope that helps

if you can get all the right drivers and you have atleast 2gb memory its fine.
