    Hi all,

    I want to have both vista AND xp on my inspiron 1720, is this possible?

    I got to harddrives, both 250 gb's. What's the best thing I can do?

    (Does it have any risks? And is installing mac os x also an option without any risks?)

    Thx in advance..

    Yes, it can be done. You can find XP drivers from support.dell.com.

    Installing Mac OS on a non Apple PC is illegal according to Mac OS EULA, therefore no one here will help you on that.
