Greetings ppl,
I think i did something very stupid now..One of my friends brought his toshiba laptop with windows vista pre installed without a cd..He wanted to use xp because nothing or very little is compatible with vista with regards to the programs he has..

To make a long story short i installed his original win xp with sp2 on a seperate partition and boots fine with xp and can access files within drive c:which is vista..Is it possible to make a dualboot without damaging vista..

I have tried to edit the boot ini file to add the command for loading but comes up with the error WINDOWS COULD NOT START BECAUSE OF A COMPUTER DISK HARDWARE CONFIGURATION PROBLEM..COULD NOT READ FROM THE SELECTED BOOT DISK.CHECK BOOTPATH AND DISK HARDWARE..

please help
thx
