can i put vista on a machine but keep xp?

[Tiger]

got myself a copy of vista but dont want to format my pc and do a fresh install, can i put it on a new partition or something, not really up on this side of things tbh if i do do that, how do i boot up that over my normal xp botting up.

any help from the whizz kids appreciated

thanks

Buy another hard drive. If there is space for one?

Yes. Just select the partition you want to install on.

It has an "improved" boot loader so it chains the old ntldr onto this, you'll end up with a entry called Windows Legacy (or something like that) which runs the old ntldr which takes you to your previous boot menu (if you had one) or just boots XP.

Be warned, Vista is cack with a capital C!
