My new computer has been supplied with Vista installed. I would like to add windows XP pro and run two OS independently. Can this be done? How?
Thanks

This can be done, but you might have trouble finding XP drivers for your hardware. It depends on how new it is.
Here's a good tutorial on how to do it.
