    Please stop naming threads "Hard disk, please read first". Aside from the fact it makes us think they are duplicate threads, the subject title has nothing to do with your question. Please use a subject that relates to the question you are asking. I'm going to rename this thread now.

    I got the impression he is thinking of a way to switch between OS without restarting but I could be wrong.  If that is what he wants, then that calls for running one OS as a virtual machine.

      There are two ways of doing it.  I would let the OS configure it for you long as you install the older copy first
