My Current OS is MS Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit(c: drive) and I now want to install Win Xp (d: drive) on my PC. I am afraid that If I install XP now Vista wills stop booting and installing vista and Vista SP1 takes a lot of time and I don't want to install it again. PLZ any one help me installing XP coz is dont want to currupt my system again. Also tell me if will b able to install Linux SuSE found on Aug 2008 digit dvd without currupting my system. :confused::confused::confused:

Install XP just as you'd have had installed.
And once the installation is over, install .net 2 framework and EasyBCD.

After installing EasyBCD, go to the "Manage Bootloader" page> select "Re-install Vista Bootloadr" > "Write MBR" to get the Vista boot manager.

Once that is done, move on to Add/Remove Entries page and select WinXP from the list adn add its entry... DONE!
