how do i go about doing this and i am using a copy of xp that was previously on another computer but that computer is now dead and dissassembled will windows xp activate. If its not a good idea to dual boot them what is a safe ram configuaration for 1gb ram dual core on virtual pc.
Dual booting vista and xp vista already installed.

was also thinking about throwing ubuntu on there.
i have heard from a few people that xp must be installed first is this true.

The simple rule is that you have to install the oldest operating system first.

OR.......put another hdd in and install xp on that.
That's what i've done. At startup i hit f11 and choose which hdd to boot from, but by default it would boot into vista.
Its a lot cleaner to do it this way too.
As regards xp activation then of course it will need to be re-activated if it was installed on a different pc with different hardware. If its oem then you're breaking the EULA you naughty naughty user!
Also, what do you mean by safe ram configuration?
