Since I have done this several times, I believe I can answer this question… The answer is YES, you can. The only MINOR problem you may encounter is finding some missing drivers (usually just the sound and ethernet), but that’s about it. However, unless you are running Vista Home or Home premium, i would not suggest you doing this due to the fact that yes, vista is the future, and in a year or two there will no longer be support for XP software. So, to answer your question again… from experience many times, yes you can install xp on a vista-installed computer.
