Hello, and I recently got a new computer with Windows 8 pre-installed. Unfortunately, most of the games I would like to run have alot of issues with Windows 8, so i decided that i wanted to dual boot my old windows XP.
But i learned that it isn't as easy as I thought, as windows 8 has some special boot format or whatever. I was wondering how I can successfully Dual Boot Windows XP (or any other system) with 2 HDD
Yes, I thought it would be easier to do with 2 hard drives, as the OS are separate from eachother (I don't know i was just thinking).
I would like to do it preferably without switching HDDs to boot from a different OS and without uninstalling windows 8. (It came preinstalled so i dont know if its legal to pirate a disk and use a legal activation code)
I hope to get some help
