Default Need help for installing Win XP/Vista in Laptop Windows7 pre installed

I have a Toshiba Satellite L510 laptop installed genuine windows7 ultimate x64. Now I want to install windows Xp or Vista in it without losing any data and activation of windows 7. When I'm trying to install a message coming something like having newer version of windows on the system and have to install a fresh copy of win XP/vista. This will remove the existing win7 OS. So any idea to install windows XP/Vista without getting out windows7.??

You can try the Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 using Virtual PC. XP Mode operates just like it would on a stand alone machine.

Refer this Thread: http://www.indiabroadband.net/window...ndows-7-a.html (Windows XP Mode in Windows 7)
