Several of the programs i use at university don't work on Windows 7 64bit, so i want to try and dual boot with Windows XP. Iv found my old WinXp CD etc and iv managed to split the HDD into two partitions however im a bit unsure as to where to go from here.
Is it just a matter of putting the XP DVD in, restarting and booting from it, then just selecting the second partition and installing it there? Iv tried this a few times but each time when it says ''select any key to boot from CD..'' it freezes up.
Is there anything else i should be doing, or is it just a problem with my XP/DVD etc?
thanks guys
