Woody is on a distinguished road
Hello from Hay Bay Ontario
I have been building my own computers since 1995 and I just bought my first lap top with my first Vista OS. There are lots of things I like about Vista, but there are more things I don't like, and if things don't improve soon I'm going to format and install XP...LOL
I'm going to stick with Vista if I can because once I format, I won't be able to reinstall it, so I hope I can get some help here:-)
The help section of my computer tells me that attempting to add XP as and optional OS with Vista already installed, might render my computer inoperable, but I am wondering if there is a safe way to do it.
I have shrunk my C: partition leaving 20G of unallocated disc space, but I can't seem to figure out how to allocate it. I figure that if I could allocate it as the C: partiction and reallocate the Vista partition as some other letter, maybe I could install XP without damage, and have a dual boot system. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Woody
