If you're going to "dual boot" Windows operating systems, you need to do it from a partition on the system drive. While I still personally recommend XP, both 7.4 and 8.0 are compatible with Vista (as long as it is 32-bit). Instead of spending the money (and time) on XP, why not just upgrade your version of Pro Tools?
