dont be such a scardy cat its not ilegal at all. ive been doing it every day since i found about it.
if you want two os on one hdd you will need to partition a drive. if you dont have a partiton. you can put in xp install it but do a partion. divide your hdd into two. than install xp. once that is done put int he second xp cd x64. and install it on the other half of the hdd.

Thanks.. I have a 2ed HD Put its a 80 Gig USB (ST380011 A USB Seagate) will this work?
 
Are you saying you want to put windows on an external drive connected with USB? I don't know if you could do that. I know their are ways to make usb devices bootable, but I don't know if you can have a OS load from it. Plus it would be pretty slow loading through USB.

Other than that I don't see any trouble partitioning your drive. Its a pretty simple thing to do when you're installing windows.
 
but do you have 64 bit cpu? if you do it will work if you install 64 bit windows
 
You do have a 64-bit CPU don't you? You do need that for windows 64-bit addition.
 
My GOD! That processor costs more than my computer and monitor combined:eek: ! I don't think you should have any problems with the 64-bit windows. Just set up the dual boot.
 
not really. my cpu runs very cool. i hope it runs good.

Hmmm, it runs at 56c (66c Under load) and that is O/C I was told that is good!! I'm using the Thermaltake

(Jungle Series Jungle512 CL-P0037)http://www.thermaltake.com/coolers/jungle/rs/jungle512/cl-p0037jungle512.htm

I think the AMD 64s run a little cooler than their Intel counterparts.
My CPU gets up to about 68~C with a 650MHz OC with stock cooling an a side case fan blowing on the heatsink. His processor is a little more beefy so I imagine it puts off a little more heat than mine, and he has better cooling. So I don't think his temps or too bad, they can always be cooler of course.:)
 
or maybe im jsut good with cooling stuff down

See , i looked up and did my homework also have 10 years of hands on enp. I don't like AMD and never will, the only time I will ever get a AMD is if AMD buys Intel. But i don't ever think that will happen; The way the market looks it world be Intel that buys AMD out.. But only going on what i have worked with for over 10 years and head keep up on my reading. yes AMD is FAST as lighting.. but with that comes HEAT and, on all programs System requirements, ever time i buy a software, mostly games, is Intel then AMD! this is only a fact. and you can check it out, not saying that AMD is never Required before a Intel but 98% of the time it asks for a Intel and its been that way for years!! and It is to come to be the same way!!.. also AMD was once part of Intel! and they left because they sad they where faster chips... YES they are faster chips.. BUT most programmers use INTEL most software ask for a Intel chip.. The way i look at it is, there has to be a "BIG" reason way. Intel Cost Most; but Things seem to run better!! because the programing code is in the Intel format.. Yes AMD is like 98.99% the same, but again the 2% costs, and if you Build computers, system Networks and so on, you AT TIMES see the different.. MY Intel ED may have cost me $900 but i know it will last, and 99% of programs ask for a Intel CPU! thats the real reason i stick with Intel..
 
I think the reason is that most computer manufacturers (dell, Gateway, etc.) use Intel processors. As a result the average person may barely know AMD exists, let alone whether they make good processors or not. So instead of putting on the back of the "box requries AMD compatible processor" it says "Intel," so as not to confuse the majority of people who buy a $300 Dell.
 
i think thats exactly why most people choose intel. its becasue they dont know about amd. intel has been around longer than amd. so noobs just go with intel just becasue they see a commercial on it. i never saw a commercial on tv that says a computer has amd processor. if some has seen a commercial let me know. ...im not trying to start an argument here so dont get mad. its just my opinion and your opinion so dont get mad.

Same, though I've always been an AMD fan, and always will be.

Used Intel and AMD alike, though it's just a personal choice really. I just have a slight hatred towards Intel which is unquestionable as I really don't know why haha!

Maybe because I'm sick of hearing about them on T.V. and seeing them in the paper everyday (In the computer descriptions!)...

AMD FTW!

I think I may have seen an add that said it had a sempron in it, but I may just be imagining things. I know I haven't seen anything that talked about a Athlon 64 or XP.
 
see, there you go. where do you see an amd commercial. never. where do you see an intel commercial. everywhere.
