Hi,
I've got an installation of XP Pro on an 80GB hard drive. I've carved out 20 GB of space at the end, and I would like to install Win8 there to dual boot, in order to test how it does on the machine (IBM T60 laptop, 32bit).
If I partition that space off beforehand, will things be straightforward? I don't know how the Win8 installer deals with the system partition.
I'm considering upgrading to a 120GB drive. I suppose if I did so I could install Win8 first and then reinstall XP behind it on the drive. But at this point I'm primaritly interested in the first scenario.
Thanks,
p.
