Why do you want to possibly stuff up a working computer?

Pig roooting around finding the necessary drivers for Win XP is not a lot fun as you may not find them either.

Who are "they".

You would be better of dual booting on two partitions with a boot manager called GAG...

Wombat is on course...and as far as it goes....my personal op on the dual boot is to use a boot manager. It would save a whole lot of headaches later on.
