well the dual booting is capable if you have your hard drive partitioned nicely or can resize the partitioning using tools like Gparted. Then when you install XP it may or may not recognize Vista but will have all the files on vista still available.

Yeah you can dual boot.

Only problems you may incurr is using a raid array with Vista, as it seriously does not like them.

Dual booting with 2 partitions on 1 hard drive is possible, along with dual booting xp and vista on seperate hard drives. Both methods are easily accomplished.
