Well, you do not need to to make another one. If you have Vista on the 1st, say C, you can reorder your stuff among the other partitions, and clean up the 2nd: D for XP. Then after the installation you can reorder the stuff you hold on the HDD ;)

Good luck.

EHM-0654 Murray:
Quick word of warning though, XP will only be happy if it's near the physical "start" of a hard drive (ordinarily, you'd install XP first, then use the Vista installer to make a partition for Vista. Vista uses grub as it's boot manager, and grub is happy to boot Vista from wherever).

An obvious alternate solution, which I've used many times myself, is to get yourself a second hard drive and install XP on that.

Hi!


--- Quote ---Intel Pentium 4, 2.93 Ghz
1024 Mt RAM Memory
nVidia GeForce 6600GT graphic card
OS: Windows Vista
FS: FS2004
All "heavy" programs closed, such as anti-virus

That's my situation and the result is that, FPS is 5-10 with low settings. How is that possible? What's wrong with my computer, or what is the case? :'(

Edit: No, FPS isn't limited to 10 or something like that..

Regards,

Hello
I have the same graphics card as you.The same amount of Ram and a P4 2.80.With this setup and windows XP FS9 runs very well indeed.
I wonder sometimes why people bother with vista. Windows XP (as far as i am concerned is a fine operating system )i have no intention of buying vista unless i am forced to to run FSX  but even then i  will watch and learn from other peoples experiences and until FSX + VISTA+DX10+NEW COMPUTER+NEW GRAPHICS CARD+++++=BROKE and then only when i have  my soul  to sell will i perhaps bargain with the old nick and get the bloomin Vista.:]
cheers Andy

EHM-1001 Robert:
Haha, I heard from a respected (by me) programmer there were rumors that MS is preparing a brand new OS in somewhen 2008...maybe...we simmers should wait for that and skip Vista ;)

EHM-0948 Bruno:
Are you sure Robert ? I think it's against the MS strategy to develop a new OS so soon ...

Doesn't make sense. Only if you want to invest on it so much to decrease your taxes ;D
