Your other option is to virtualise one of the operating systems. I've
used vmware <http://vmware.com> in the past. I made a flash training
video awhile back where I installed freedos (and turbo pascal 5.5) on a
VM, which you can view here

if you want an example.

You would really need to partition the drive into at least 2 drives, and
configure each partition as the boot for each version of windows.
If you did not I would perhaps consider it insane. I don't think you can
actually do 2 windows installs onto the same partition, without the
second overwriting the first install.
I have this exact configuration at home.
Really depends on how big your drive is, I would suggest 160GB min for 2
drives. I.e at least 80gb or more on one partition.

Hi,
I have to purchase a new laptop and although I'm reluctant to
purchase
Vista with it there are some Vista features I wish to use in its
secondary
role in my home theatre. I am considering purchasing another XP-Pro
license and arranging for it to be bootable to either OS.
Is this a sane option, considering it only has one drive?
Cheers
Colin
