How to install two versions of XP?

**fatbastard**

A guy here at work just bought a new computer that came with the US version of XP but he would like to also install the Korean version. Origianlly I had suggested he reinstall XP (get rid of all the crap Dell adds) but to partition the drive. Then install the korean version on the other partition. Then if he wants to swap he could do it in the bios, but BB just mentioned you can put them on the same drive and you'll get a prompt when booting for you to choose what OS you want. But he wasn't sure of the details, has anyone had experience with this? Any recommendations on how to do this? He mentioned that I should have it install to a different folder than the default, anything else to look for?

Don't believe so, as long as you tell it to install it in a different folder it should prompt you which to use.

Hi!

Nevertheless it's better to install different OS to different partitions in order to avoid any conflict between them. In this case you'll be able to choose what system to boot too. To partition HDD you can use any third party partition software or just partition disc during Windows installation.
