i jjust got my dell inspirion 6400 which is loaded with windows vista home basic
can i install xp on my other drive would there be any problem
the computer management in the control pannel shows that
the D drive is a logical partion
but it is too large in size can i make it smaller to instal
could it create any problems
there is also 2 gb left but its not unallocated
and 47 mb as eisa configration

i would not like to mess with a new system i got after so much trouble

yup , u can . use dskpart to reduce disk space(free space) on a drive and convert it to unallocated space.

*apcmag.com/5485/dualbooting_vista_and_xp

u'll also find how to convert the excess free space in one drive to unallocated space and convert it to an extra partition.

BTW , plz try searching .. a similar thread exists i think...
