    I'm out to get a 250GB HDD to fill my 9262's third HDD drive, and I was interested in installing XP (my school provides free XP and Vista Business) on it for gaming purposes. Is it a hassle to set up or use? When booting up, how do you determine the OS?

    It's very easy to do. When the system boots, it will have a countdown timer that gives you a menu of installed operating systems to choose. If you haven't picked one when the timer reaches zero, it boots to whatever you have selected as your primary OS.
