Dual boot xp on a Vista computer using an external drive.
Hello
We would like to know how to dual boot a Vista computer with a XP computer using an external hard drive. We want to make a copy of our XP computer on to the external drive & plug it into the Vista computer. Do we have to make any changes on the Vista computer ? How can we choose between the Xp & the Vista operating system when the computer boots ? Thank You |

based on what you said, you will be violating microsofts xp eula. Xp can only be used on one computer, you CANNOT copy it and use it on another computer as long as the first computer still has it installed.

Use *Edited by AnnMarie - see below* to configure dual-booting with Vista. Since they replaced boot.ini with BCD, it's not easy anymore to change that kind of stuff. Here's the link to the download page:
