Reply: (edit)easy >>>>>> first strip your hardisk and make a new free space. like 50Gig or minimum of 25G defend how your big your HDD
then save your change. this thing you can find on your control panel under hardisk management..there you go you are ready to load you XP in dual boot...make sure BIOS is set on CD when boot your pc again, so that XP CD can run automatically and follow step by step chose free space and format for your XP installation and injoy some beer while you are waiting for the first time you boot you XP OS

Reply: (edit)My way of doing business:
1. Three separate hard drives if you can afford them, this is a stronge recomendation as opposed to partitioning a single hard drive.
2. I format a small C dive, 2 Giga byte, FAT16, I call this the boot drive.
3. Install VISTA first, Microsoft has a new NTFS file format and binary boot manager for VISTA(it crashed once). Then install XP on a separate hard drive.
I repair XP or VISTA with diskettes or my WINDOWS PE cd. Have fun, do it. Dozaone Pentium Super
