Not legally, there isn't.

I would dual-boot.

Just add some old spare HDD if you don't want to mess with partitions.

I was going to say, Im not sure if the free hypevisors can emulate SCSI controllers and pass them through to the guest...I think agent_24 has the best advise, throw in an extra HDD and install XP on that!

Gary - I tried that method, cheers. It looks like my method was that. I did install Vista 32 driver before, that method you posted had the adjusted inf/dll file. My method was to edit for it manually. It said that my driver currently was up to date... It's SCSI.
