    Create a second partition and install it. Do NOT install it over your xp install.

          WOW this is such old news, ive had vista since the private alpha testing versions witch was almost a year ago. Tho it has greatly improved troughout the releses i still hope DirectX 10 will be backward compatible with graphic cards and games unlike what they said.

            It's not, so I'd really stop hoping.

              meh, I had the chance then but turned it down. I waited until the final phase. I still stay in contact with a dev or two, to see how it is comin' along.

                    can you read any disc? maybe your jumpers need to be changed... just a guess.

                      You dont need 40Gb for it, 15 should be heaps.

                                A tip: use something like bootmanager... It's usefull! For example Vista crashes and can't start up, then load an other bootpartition! Use it and it's good! Only had to reinstall my computer once (I suceeded to remove a lot of Windows startup files when looking for bugs :p)
