I have Windows XP MCE 2005 installed on my computer. I'm going to try Vista
RC1 so I can get a feel for it, but I would like to keep Windows XP and all
of my programs, documents, etc.. Also, on startup I would like to choose
which operating sytem to run. I only have one 320 GB hard drive, would this
be possible?
 
Ben,

If you can partition off part of that hard drive you can via dual booting.
Unfortunately that would mean using a third party tool like PartionMagic or
the like to do the work to repartition the drive.

The good news is hard drives are dirt cheap now. I saw a 300 GB drive on
NewEgg for 120 bucks with free shipping.

Not saying you have to do it, but it may be easier to add a second drive if
you don't already have partition magic.
