I got stuck! I have an ACER 3810T with Windows 64 bit installed on a 500gb hard drive. I successfully partitioned my hard drive, c:450gb, e:50gb. I then put in the XP (full version) installation disk and click on [install Windows XP]. It gives me the following error "Setup cannot continue because the version of windows on your computer is newer that the version on the CD". I would like to install the xp on the e drive like in your tutorial.
Am i doing the installation incorrectly? do i need a different version of xp?
any suggestions?
thanks so much,

Okay. Shrink Vista's partition, fine. Install XP in empty space, okay. Download EasyBCD (or whatever it's called).... Ummm. XP doesn't seem to be able to use my computer's Ethernet card. Okay, just 'boot from my Vista CD'.... Oh. I've got two options: reload Vista after copying my files or reload without copying my files. Copying will take days. Goodbye 150GB of stuff, I didn't need it anyhow. Still can't find the drivers for XP...]]> Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:07:00 GMT http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystep_guide.htm#comment28775 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 13:15:17 GMT http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystep_guide.htm#comment28754 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:03:00 GMT http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystep_guide.htm#comment28553 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:51:04 GMT http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystep_guide.htm#comment28534 ____________________________ and pcs can be personal or not nac is a computer with the same intel hardware and same bios i can say it takes less recources but if you like sped buy a 800 dollar pc and run hacknintosh its no big deal

They sound like school kids touting who runs the fastest, or "My dad can whip your Dad " mentality. Did you ever notice that they can't seem to stay away from forums designed to help people? I came here looking for some research, not these guys boasting about who's better. I guess maybe they're not smart enough to figure out how to use a PC. This forum "How to dual-boot", not "Look at me, I'm better than you!"

Anyway, I was finally able to get XP installed and I can dual boot. I have to change one of the BIOS Integration settings from SATA (RAID) {Vista 64-bit} to Native IDE {Win XP}. Beyond that I cannot "find" the Ethernet connection integrated on the motherboard or load any drivers from the CD I burned using Gateway's System Recovery.

Do I *really* need to change BIOS settings when toggling the OS I boot up with? Should I expect to? I had to tweak one BIOS setting to get past the BSOD when installing XP.

What can I do when booted up with XP (SP2) to connect to the internet? I guess the real question is how can I load my driver(s) and which one(s) should I load?

Thank you all!]]> Wed, 07 Oct 2009 11:37:56 GMT http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystep_guide.htm#comment28130 Under "Windows XP Professional Setup"

It was originally expected to ship sometime late in 2003 as a minor step between Windows XP and Blackcomb, which was planned to be the company's next major operating system release. Gradually, "Longhorn" assimilated many of the important new features and technologies slated for Blackcomb, resulting in the release date being pushed back several times. Many of Microsoft's developers were also re-tasked to build updates to Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 to strengthen security.Faced with ongoing delays and concerns about feature creep, Microsoft announced on August 27, 2004 that it had revised its plans. The original Blackcomb, based on the Windows XP source code, was scrapped, and Longhorn's development started anew, building on the Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 codebase, and re-incorporating only the features that would be intended for an actual operating system release. Some previously announced features such as WinFS were dropped or postponed, and a new software development methodology called the Security Development Lifecycle was incorporated in an effort to address concerns with the security of the Windows codebase.]]> Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:06:49 GMT http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystep_guide.htm#comment28000 data recovery.
