When you delete the current partition it forces you to format the drive. So no, only one OS would be installed (XP).

Thanks for the info I will start to gather all the drivers tonight and go with the XP upgrade next week. I will also keep any eye on this thread for that common module driver. This is a great forum!!

If you are talking about the recovery disks that came with your wifes computer, no you cant. The recovery disks are model specific because of the different BIOS etc in each model.

Hi,
Can anyone please let me know how I can make Toshiba A215-S4697 dual boot. I want to install both Vista and Win XP.

I formatted the HD, created partition and then installed Vista. When I try to install Win XP Pro, it does not allow saying that the version of windows I am trying to install is older than the current version.

A quick reply would be very much appreciated.

Are you sure they are Operating system disks or MS Office. You said Office in your post. Office is only a suite of programs like MS Word, Excell, PowerPoint etc not an operating system. WinXP Home, Pro or Media would be an OPerating System.
If you are purchasing the XP Home set, See if you can get one flashed with SP2, otherwise there will be a lot of downloading to get it up to snuff. Make sure you have all your XP drivers, utilities etc before making the switch or you will find that some of your features are not working

I am also having this problem. I install the drivers and they don't work. I get a message that "the device cannot start". And then the almighty windows help tries to assist me. If you download the RTL8111B drivers from Realtek's site (www.realtek.com.tw), they install fine, but the laptop freezes when you hook up the LAN cable. Any ideas? Jeremy
