i see that social created a thread on how to dual boot xp if you already have vista installed, but can anyone lay it out on how to do this if you have xp installed and want to dual boot vista?

Dual boot?
I've done it before. Things you need to know:
1. Make sure your partition is relatively large. Vista creates a "Winsxs" folder to manage libraries that may conflict, and this folder can grow to like 6GB+ easily. 2. Install all up to date drivers. 3. Install x64 if you can. 4. UAE *can* be turned off 5. VistaBootPro may not work if Windows is on C:\ and it is part of a partitioned other drive (on my installation, a partition of F:\) because Vista sees itself as being on C:\ even if it's on another partition. To fix, switch drives. 6. Most apps will have to be reinstalled, some can be launched fine.
