Step 2: Install Window XP.

Put a disk has Window XP SP2 operating system into your computer and start it again. Follow install instruction to install Window XP on a new partition that you just created above.

Step 3: Create Dual Boot.

After you install successfully Window XP on your computer, whenever you start your computer, it will choose Window XP as default operating system. So now you have to configure the boot manager to allow you switch between Window XP and Vista operating system.

Note that Vista use a new database called “BCD” to contain boot configuration data and a whole new artichecture for booting using a brad new boot component called “BOOTMGR”. It never tries to understand “boot.ini”.

So in order to make dual boot, you have to modify BCDEDIT. A much easy way is to use VistaBootPro, which can be installed on Vista and XP. You can download it from . Note that there is available VistaBootPro software version 3.3.

After you download and install VistaBootPro on your computer ( actually in Window XP driver ), please follow the following steps to create dual boot manager.

1. Open My Computer

2. Click on "Organize" and then click on "Folder and Search Options"

3. Then click on the "View" tab

4. In the list under "Advanced Settings" you need to find "Hide protected operating system files" and uncheck it and then click "Ok"

5. Once back into My Computer open your Vista drive and you will now see more "protected" files

6. Select the three files ntldr, NTDETECT, and boot.ini in Vista drive and right click and then select "Copy"

7. Go back and open your XP drive and right click and then select paste

8. Open VistaBootPro, go to the Manage OS Entities. Check on Add New OS Type, it will show you the following screen

In the OS Name textbox, type Window XP. In the OS Type choose Window Legacy and OS Drive choose the drive in which you install Window XP. Click Apply Updates Button.

Select "Windows Vista Bootloader", Select "All Drives", Select Force Install and then click on "Install Bootloader" (Note: Before continuing quit any I/O sensitive applications). Once done exit VistaBootPRO and reboot your system.

Now everything is done. And you have dual boot between Window XP and Vista on your computer.

Step 4: Install Java 2 Platform 1.4, NetBean 4.1, Object Store, Jave Web Services Developer Pack 1.3 on your XP drive

Please follow the the tutorial: how to install Java 2 Platform 1.4, NetBean 4.1, Object Store, Jave Web Services Developer Pack 1.3 on your XP drive that I gave you before to install and make ObjectStore run correctly on your computer. Note that please install exactly the versions of software that I supposed in the tutorial, if you use the different versions of software, I don’t ensure ObjectStore can run successfully on your computer.
