You need to use PartitionMagic or Acronis Disk Director to re-partition your drive. Or add a second hard drive, and install Vista to that drive. Because Microsoft changed the boot manager with Vista, adding a second operating system is not as easy as before. If you have a hard drive with XP already installed, you can add Vista. If you have a blank hard drive, install XP first, then Vista. If you have already installed Vista and now want to install XP, you need to make some adjustments. All of these scenarios are described in this Microsoft Knowlege Base article: KB919529. Also, Australian PC Magazine has an article about this here which is, I think, more informative than Microsoft's article. 4 May 2008
