I've been in Tennessee visiting my parents the last 10 days and I talked them into getting a new laptop as the old gateway they had was outdated and slow. I have spent the entire day transferring all their files and programs over to the new pc. Everything was going great until I tried syncing my mom?s PDA with the new laptop. We have spent hours on the phone with Palm and we are still having problems. Seems Windows 7 does not support the software on a 64 bit machine. My mom loves her PDA and doesn?t want to get a new one. So the only thing I can think of is adding Windows XP on an external drive just to run the PDA. Is it possible to run to operating systems on one pc? We don?t want to mess with the internal drive on the laptop as they bought an extended warranty. If anyone can offer any advice that would be great. Thanks in advance.
