Hi..
I bought a laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium installed.
I wonder if I can partition my hard disk without damaging the existing
files and data?
Is there any partitioning software that can do this job?
Vista is still a new OS...So, I would like to install windows XP in
another partition to avoid the hassle of driver problems...
Is it possible to do this?
Furthermore, the system have 2GB DDR2 RAM.I suppose it should be ok to
have a dual boot pc eh?

Please help. Informations are very much welcomed.

Thank you in advance!!
 
Do you have any driver problems presently?

Make sure the XP drivers are available. Booting into XP without using a
third party boot manager to hide the Vista partition will wipe out your
shadow copies and restore points.
