| 767675 | 2009-04-23 02:02:00 | Is it possible to install Windows Vista Home Basic on the same partition as my Windows XP installation? If so, how? | LarsJohann (13010) | ||
| 767676 | 2009-04-23 02:07:00 | If you create another partition for it, yup it should work | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 767677 | 2009-04-23 02:09:00 | It'll stuff things up completly if you do that. You should make a different partiton. Or what you could also try is, make a VHD for windows 7 and install it on that, and keep it on your XP drive VHD is just a file that acts as a HD Blam |

| 767678 | 2009-04-23 02:10:00 | Is there a way i can partition my drive without having to format my partitions? | LarsJohann (13010) | ||
| 767679 | 2009-04-23 02:13:00 | Yes, from disk management Run>diskmgmt.msc>Right click partiton shrink/extend Or if that doesn't work, download gparted: sourceforge.net Then burn to CD, boot from it, and extend partitions. Blam |

| 767680 | 2009-04-23 02:14:00 | Could try Gparted or partition magic (you'll prob have to buy this, for it to work). Never tried either of them tho | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 767681 | 2009-04-23 02:15:00 | And this wont delete any of my current data? | LarsJohann (13010) | ||
| 767682 | 2009-04-23 02:16:00 | Also, how do i make this VHD? | LarsJohann (13010) | ||
| 767683 | 2009-04-23 02:57:00 | And this wont delete any of my current data? It doesn't, but it can sometimes corrupt a bit of the system files and/or the bootloader Also, how do i make this VHD? In my Windows 7 post in my blog: win-help.co.cc Blam |

| 767684 | 2009-04-23 08:33:00 | I tried it once, but could not get them working. Eventually I had to reinstall both on different partitions. | Lumber Joe (14835) | ||
