I have a dell XPS 410 with Vista and want to install a 2nd hard drive
which i bought already so i can add Windows XP and be able to go
between the two. I put the drive in but i don't have the power
cable.Where can i get one? and how do i add the Operating System to
the 2nd drive...Thanks

You did buy a SATA hard drive, right? There are 6 SATA power cables in
the XPS410.

As for installing XP, it works best if XP is installed first. If it is,
then the Vista install adds the boot manager.

The power cable should be there. I added 3 hard drives after purchase
to my XPS 410.
