Hi everyone, this is my first post so please bare with me. I am also pretty new to the PC world.
I want to install XP to my Vista OS so that I can have dual boot. I have followed instructions to a t, but once I insert the XP CD in, I get a message saying that windows has encountered a problem and has to shut down. Any ideas what's going on??
Thanks

It works best to install XP first so that Vista will boot both.
