I have a shiney new HP Vista pc and i have found that i cannot use LOADS of my software with Vista. I want to install the old XP Pro hard drive in the same tower with the Vista pc and be able to use the software/programs. I do not want to have to reinstall XP Pro, just use the drive “as is” in the same system. Can i do this? Will i have to be able to boot up the XP hard drive or can i run the programs on that drive by accessing it as an internal backup drive?
Make this easier for me. i have thought and thought and read online and i am not finding the answer i want/need.
