    Usually that shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure you have an unused
    partition large enough to keep an XP system. Also make sure you have
    backup copies of all important documents on your laptop. Then install XP
    to the unused partition. It should extend the boot related files and
    information on C: automatically and provide an OS selection menu each
    time the computer is booting.
