Having both Windows XP and Windows 7 without formatting

 

Hi Yuan Hayden,

    Having two OS at once is positively possible. Ofcourse, it is possible even without reformatting your system. Installing another OS or your Windows XP OS is pretty easy and simple. Before you install it, I suggest you partition your drive just to save all the risk from getting your original OS from corruption. Partition your hard disk to two drives. On the second drive, there you can install your Windows XP OS. So that if ever your Windows XP installation fails, then you can just simply format the second drive. To install, just insert the disc whether booting it, or just simply install it in Windows. Just simply follow the instructions; just like installing it usually. Hope this helps.
