Dual booting xp home with microsoft media center????

[50 cal]

ok i'm selling a keyboard to an associate tomorrow, but the problem is his operating is microsoft media center which will not work with m-audio products at all. so what i want to know is....can we set his system up to dual boot....so when he wants the media center he can boot that up and when he wants to use just regular xp he can to use the keyboard and make beats?

If so how do i go about settintg this up??

 

[open mind]

nah it says it there on the website and sweetwater.com has a list that says virtually nothing works with the media center yet.

I'm heated now too, cause dude is reconsidering....and i need my money lol

well if ther are more OS installed in one machine then one, then most boot menus must give u the opurtunity to choose wich one to start with.good luck.

dude sorry but you guys are all wrong, I USE MEDIA CENTER AS MY MAIN DAW WITH MAUDIO HARDWARE. Media center actually totally rocks. It IS windows XP So if the driver works with XP it will work on "Windows XP media center" no need to dual boot.

if you dont like media center, dont click on it to launch it. Thats all other than that it is %100 windows XP. It is no different that minesweeper, it is simply another bundled program. thats it.
