Satellite A100-451 Vista - can I add XP and set up the dual boot?

My new A100-451 came with 2 related partitions on the HARD disk, marked C:\Vista
(Vista Home Premium) and E:\Data. About 80 GB on each.
I can't get my ProII Toucam webcam works with Vista and refuse to update the software.
Some of my other software no longer work.

Because the HARD disk is already partitioned, I would install XP on the second partition and set up a dual boot system.
Is it possible, and how would I go about this?

Thank you all,
John.

Hello

Of course, you can install a XP on more partition.
But I do not recommend to install the XP on the partition existing E:\ but to create a new partition on the HARD drive.
It s very simple to create the partition under Vista OS. Go to disk management and shrink a partition E:
Then the 3rd other partition can be created on the empty space.

Then you could just run the install of XP and could install XP on a partition that is created again.

See you soon

    I have a USB IRDA Kingsun device that worked well on a desktop with XP but my Satellite A100 with Vista defies installing the drivers that came on a CD with the IRDA.

    How can I install or does anyone know one that works with Vista?

    Hello

    If you are not able to install the 3rd party device IRDA driver on Vista, it seems that the disc is not compatible and don t support Vista.
    Seems you have to contact the manufacture of the IRDA device and ask the compatible reader

    But maybe that you're unlucky and the Vista driver does not exist?  :|
