    Please help me with advice on how to add an XP on my laptop.

    I ordered it with two partitions, cause I planned to keep the Vista on the first. The XP will be hungarian, and I will probably run all my programs on it.

    I have read about something called slipstreemed installation disk. Do I need to do that?
    I would like to keep the mediadirect function.
    Can and should I manage the drive letters changing XP (on the second partition) to be C:, or keep it to D:? Which way will the system be cleaner.

    I know there are threads about this, but they dont deal with all these questions?

    Thanks
