Hi Terry,

It is possible to create 2 partitions on the PC using Partitionmagic.

Then install another Operating system to the new Partition.

Surely if the drive were partitioned You could install XP on the new partition yourself Terry.

To be fair, it's the loading of all the extras required by a customer, that takes the real time.
