Got a new laptop over the weekend. It came with Vista Home Premium 64-bit.
On occasion I need to VPN into my company's network. My company provides me with specific antivirus and personal firewall software that has to be on the computer otherwise the network will refuse the connection. My company also provides the Cisco VPN software.
My problem is that they say none of the software will work on 64-bit systems. They haven't yet released the 64-bit versions for us to use.
The antivirus and firewall seem to work ok even though they say they won't but I cannot get the VPN software to run. Guessing that it has a 16-bit installer.
Anyway, given that the laptop has a 320GB hard drive and space isn't an issue for me, can I add a partition and load a 32-bit version of either Vista or XP on there? If I can, is there anything else that I need to do to get a prompt on startup asking me which operating system I want to use?
Thanks for any help.
