How about to dualboot Win8 with Win Xp? Is it possible? I had sony vaio and it can't be installed on there...
My notebook has OEM Win8 Single Languange... When I was insert CD of Win Xp and it's saying "Installing Windows XP" my screen turns into BSOD and it's say I have an error because there are have virus or something..and command me to type CHKDSK /F in command prompt.

I need that dualbooting for work.. Help me solve this.

I don't think you can do that. I used a tablet PC for a while and was running XP on it, as well as Win7.

When the Win8 previews came out, I installed them on that PC.

When I installed Win7, it added an entry to its loader screen for XP. When I installed Win8, it did no such thing.

I tried various ways of adding XP, but none of them worked.

Since Win8 uses a newer loader version than Win7, it might simply be that, like the removal of XPDM support from Win8, MS removed support for XP in the new loader, as well.

Thanks. I'll see what I can do. BIOS just shows a board code. Maybe I can figure something out on the HP site.
