Installing XP & saving Vista

[djbbenn]

I have just acquired me a new computer, it is Vista preinstalled.
I want to install XP as it is much faster, but also want to keep Vista, although on a CD / DVD disc.
Someone who knows how / where you can burn Vista from the hard drive?

Grateful for the answers!

Well, you can not. However, you can install XP, TOO, and Vista remaining in place. But it depends a bit on how your disk is partitioned. There is no such thing as vista boot program that you can run, so you can choose if you want to boot up on the vista or xp when you start your computer.

It is usually installed something to create recovery discs on new computers. If you do it in your Vista installation, you'll create recovery discs for the Vista installation. Then you can then boot up your xp discs and format harddisk with them to get a clean xp installation.

Do you want to later return to the vista as you boot up your recovery discs for Vista?

If there is no recovery program in your model, I would make a ghost image on harddisk with Norton Ghost for example.

Good luck!

Run with a Lenovo, so I figured that they have that kind of software you can create / burn recovery discs.
In all cases that thing now. Was most disturbed by Lenovo's way, is accustomed hp before.
Thanks for the answers!
