How to install windows xp on a secondary HD

Winvaren · 01-06-2008, 09:02 PM

Greetings =) I recently had a problem running Everquest 2 on my pc, and i can pretty much point the finger at Vista for being the culprit. However since then, I installed a new HD and slaved it in so that I could setup a partisan with my current HD. Now my question is this: how do I go about installing XP on my second HD so I can choose between booting up Vista or XP when windows starts. Is it as simple as putting in the windows xp cd in and having it format my slave HD? Any help with a step by step guide or a possible link to a website showing you how to install xp on a secondary HD that already has Vista would be helpfull. Thanks!

Curious what are the issues you are having, been running eq2 for close to 2 years on Vista Ultimate counting the non-public beta's and the gold software released in Nov 07
