• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Is it safe to have WinXP Pro and Vista on the same drive as long as they are partitioned separately?
 
Yes you can have both on same drive, but beware you could corrupt the MBR (Master Boot Record). http://windowssecrets.com/2008/02/14/01-Make-your-computer-dual-boot-Vista-and-XP
Im assuming that you are installing vista on the other partition? Do you have a spare drive? That would be the safer way as all you have to do is unplug your main drive, then install the OS on the 2nd drive. once done all you need to do is plug back in main drive.
