Dual boot xp and vista

Hi
If i have Xp installed on my computer and then wish to dual boots with Vista
I have read in a forum that the best way to do this is to start the vista instsll then when it gets to the product key stage to press shift and F10 then run vistas diskpart this will then vistas built-in partitioning tool and it will shrink the existing partition to and create room for vista.

My question is will this then put xp on one partition and vista on another

regards

Hi !!

If you put a vista boot dik it'll let you choose where to install anda bring a menu where you can partitio/format etc, but is a good choice to do the partitioning before and then when you got all ready you install...

Regards
Sergio
