    I'm wanting to dual-boot XP and Vista on my new HP laptop (HP DV6-1130SA) that came pre-installed with Vista.

    I pretty much know how to get the dual boot working, with slip-streaming etc. it's just that I can't find the drivers I'll need when I've actually got XP installed and I wanted to get them all ready before I go ahead and take the plunge, so has anyone managed this or know of any drivers for XP or is it just a lost cause?


    One more question as well, If I were to say have C drive for Vista, D for my DVD drive, E for XP, would I be able to have Vista and XP share a third partition of say F to put all my music and games etc. on? Or would each game need to be installed twice depending on which OS I install it through?

    Thanks for any help in advance!
