Greetings all,
The 1st thing I want to say is that I only know very little about such things.
With that said, I'd like to install XP as a secondary OS.
My new comp is a Gateway FX7026. It came with 2 hard drives so I'd like to install XP onto the 2nd drive instead of partitioning the C drive.
Please feel free to let me know if this is the wrong thing to do
I attempted to just install XP a few times , but whenever I try it , It gets tho the point where it says starting windows & then I get an error that says the app has been shutdown to prevent damage to the system.
I've tried XP & XP64 bit, Not sure exactly which 1 I should use. I'd think XP 64would be the wiser choice but would be satisfied with either.
The system came with Vista 64 bit & has no restore CD so I'd really like to leave it intact if possible.
If someone here could give me a step by step as to how to make this work , I'd be forever in your debt.
