Can i install Vista on a hard drive with XP already installed?

I only have one 200GB hard drive and it would be great if i could install Vista RC2 without having to uninstall XP first. Is this possible?

Get Partition Magic, install it, load it up and go to "Install another operating system" (Or something like that) then it will set you up for making a partition for it (make like 40gig or so if you can spare it for Vista.) then it's pretty step by step from there, you'll get it done easily.

Can i do this with the demo version of Partition Magic? I clicked 'apply' but nothing happened :confused:
