Can there be two different Operating Systems (XP and Win 8) on the same hard drive?
If not, can you have two hard drives on a Toshiba Laptop computer or a Desktop for that matter? I do not like Win 7 or 8. I like my XP OS. Why did Microsoft fix something that was not broken?

You can install them to the same physical drive, I'd strongly suggest partitioning the drive into at least two partitions, one for each OS so you do not run into massive conflict issues.
Progress marches on, when 95 launched you'd be surprised the number of people who said the same thing about Program Manager from windows 3.x. Enough that microsoft didn't remove progman until XP...

hi, If there is area for a 2nd complicated disk on your laptop, then particular you are able to choose for the 2nd complicated disk. merely open your laptop or use the consumer instruction manual. ordinarily, you ought to use 2 working structures in a unmarried equipment. for the time of bootup it is going to ask for which OS you may choose for to apply for bootup. however the artwork consistency is slightly uncertain, whilst Win 8 is loaded on XP. yet ordinarily Win 7 is used as a base and then homestead windows 8 is loaded onto it.

Sure. It's possible. But it depends on how much hard drive space ya got there.
There's plenty of videos on Youtube on how to do it.
