booting from msata SSD or 7200RPM HDD

[paascal]

hi i have a lenov w520 4270CTO.

i had a MSATA SSD (under the keyboard, not a SSD that replaces the DVD drive) on which i boot and where win7 is installed AND i still have the 7200rpm HD that came with the laptop,

i have a software that only runs on win XP, is there a way to install XP a partition on my 7200rpm HDD and have the option to boot from either win7 from my Msata ssd or xp from my 7200 rp, hdd.

thanks ALOT

Here is a tutorial to dual boot windows 7 and XP or if you have Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate you can run windows XP mode

starts installing and and some point i get the magical blue screen i had forgotten about since win7... im trying to install xp x64 corporate...

i was wondering if it could be because it doenst recognise the MSATA SSD?

the dual boot is there i get the choise between xp and win7. i was wondering if i removed the Msata ssd and installed xp on the hdd, would this screw up everything when i would reinstall the Msata ssd?

thanks
