Installation of Win-XP-x86 in a Z87 Extreme 4 PC

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I had built a desktop PC with Z87Ext.-4 Mobo & i7-4770 & installed Win-7, 64bit. Now I want to make it a dual boot system With Win-XP-32 bit. Is it possible or I shall have to remove Windows 7 first & then install 32 bit XP & subsequently install Win-7 x64. Since I am a newbie, I would request my forum friends to guide me in details. Main reason for installing XP in this machine is to use my old flatbed scanner, which is working perfectly but can run only in 32bit XP.
I have few more questions also. Probably I may not get drivers for Win-XP. In that case can I run scanner after installng  scanner driver?

Thanks & regards,

Master Tito
