Dual Booting XP & 7

i have alot of games that windows 7 doesnt support. and i was wondering how i could dual boot 7 & XP.

Windows 7 Ultimate 32
250 GB HDD
3GB RAM
Bios - Phoenix AwardBIOS v6.00PG
Processor - AMD Athlon Dual Core Processor 4450e (2 CPU's) 2.3GHz

I have Windows 7 and XP on Disks


i just need a tutorial on how to do it. i am kind of new to this kind of stuff...although i know how to successfully install an OS.

i just need a detailed tutorial.


Thanks

It is possible...

Brink, one of the admins here, wrote this tutorial on how to dual boot those 2 os.
Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and XP

Hello Collin.





The best way is to install them to separate Hard Disk Drives (HDD) and boot them independently from each other using the one time BIOS boot menu; install one OS with only one HDD connected and when that one is booting good disconnect that HDD and install the OS to the other HDD while it is the only HDD connected, when finished and that one is booting good connect both HDDs and they will boot independently using the one time BIOS boot menu and not have dependency issues.

I shall not say on how to Dual boot, but what i can say is that all the games i have had for xp have ran on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 for me, i mostly had problems with the beta versions. There is usually a work around for some windows 7 games.

i dont have 2 HDD's and i cant GET NFS HS to run. i got it to run on vista. but on my 32 it says cant run 95 games...and i tried all compatibility things too :'(

Since you have Ultimate, 3GB of RAM, and a CPU that supports virtualization, you could try XP Mode.

i heard XP mode is risky.

whats VMware Player and how do i get that? is it free?
