Anyone know how to load Windows xp on a computer with vista on it?
My computer has 3 hard drives on it.I want to make one of the hard drives run Xp on it.Since I asked the guy a best buy if the card i got will run with my compter I just got from them with vista on it and the guy from the geek squad said yes it will.Now with all the people saying im jumping all over the place it's no working right.So I looked at the book that came with the card and it said It would not run with directx 10.
And best buy will not take the card back.Even when best buy make the mistake or was it me for going to best buy? ::)

Avoid Best Buy at all cost ... The marup on all product is insanely high. unless they are the only one with the needed product, I avoid them at all cost. They are terrible. Hope you can figure it out.

As of right now i havent any luck running a dual boot system.
Ive tried on 2 differant pcs so far and neither would work. Also tried networking a xp pc to a vista pc. No luck there either.
In my honest opinion Vista is nothing but crap, and doesnt like anything old (software and hardware). Im not giveing up on it because it is the os of the future. They just need to make it easier on a noob like me. Vista just needs to evolve a bit yet.
Good luck Soul. let us know how your doin.

PS If you have a card you cant use let me know what it is and i might be able to sell it for you.
