OK Dheeraj,

Since yesterday I have been using VirtualBox and I would like to say that I highly recommend it.

It will do exactly what you want after you install windows on it. However if you wish to add a separate partition and install XP on that then I will be glad to help.

Just please email me at Tazboy2003_2007 at yahoo.com I use this account so that I can keep it separated from all the other posts.
