    Lately I've been bussy downloading windows 7 RC and believe it wasn't easy for me as a newbie to configure my non partioned HDD to run two OS,but finaly I did it.But since my computer doesn't have a CD burner I used winrar to store and install the win7 ISO file,so I guess the sp3 ISO file can be stored and used like win7?Probably will,I'd like your opinion too.

    What I did, (Although I have 2 comps, 1 running XP Pro and the other running Windows 7 64-bit.) was, rather than dual-booting, I set up XP Pro 32-bit inside Virtual Box in Windows 7; just for fun basically at this present moment, although I will also be setting up Puppy Linux in the virtual-machine environment also.

    What you did with WinRar is something I never thought of. Having Googled I see how it's done. If anyone else wants to know then read this article.

    I see no reason why the same can't be done with the XP SP3 ISO. Perhaps you'd like to give it a try and report on what happens?

    Thank you for your comment, which has brought an interesting new dimension to the discussion.

    Blessings.
