Windows 10/XP Dual Boot with pre-existing 10 install
I've been working on capturing all of my old camcorder footage. Unfortunately, I need FireWire capability for that. Very few motherboards put out since the 1156 socket set have come with FireWire. I purchased an add-on card from Amazon and have it successfully setup in my system with the legacy drivers, but my system still won't see my camcorder. Let's face it, even with the add-on card, there are still modern hardware and operating system hurdles that just make it hard to get good FireWire communications. Windows XP was always the best OS for Windows/FireWire functionality. Everything just got really flaky after that.
I'd like to set up a Windows 10/XP dual boot system long enough for me to archive my old footage. There aren't XP drivers for most of my hardware but, as long as I can see my drives, I know the XP FireWire drivers should see that card, so I don't know that that is really a concern.
Is there any decent way I can setup a dual boot without completely wiping my system and starting fresh? I have a spare 120GB SSD that I'd like to use as the XP drive, just to keep things separate.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
