on my pc i have Windows XP pro, but i also want to install this variant of XP called "godly XP" which doent take up as much load on my computer cause it is a low end one. i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to do it.
thanx in advance guys :D

Just install on a different partition, and it'll work. Windows XP eventually picks up that there's already another version installed and creates a new boot.ini for you.

it runs alot better than the normal XP from what i read & it requires low requirements, which is why im getting it.


PS - how do i install it on another partition :p. i havent done it before. sry...

I think installing godly XP would be similar to installing Windows XP pro. Here's a guide to install windows Xp pro. Maybe it might help.

All XP installation are similar.

Install the first one as usual.
Then install the second (same as the first one). While doing this, keep the other XP partition as it is in Windows Setup beginning where you'll be asked for partition to install XP (that you get when installing from CD). You'll have to create a new one, allocate space and select it. You don't have to worry about boot.ini - the second XP will do it all by itself.

thanx peeps, greatly appreciated.
BTW, do i need a partition manager?

you should'nt need one, in xp setup you allocate partitions, then when you install it on the partition and boot it up it will look like another harddrive on my computer
