Guys I just got a new company laptop that has come with Vista Business pre-installed.

I'm quite happy with it but some of the tools I use for work like my VPN client and Vodafone 3G card won't work and Vodafone tell me they won't have a solution until June 07.

Is there any way I can install xp and dual boot or do I need to wipe Vista and install XP then Vista again?

Thanks
 
If I was duel booting which I am then best thing to do is this IMO.

Split your disk into 3 partitions (Vista, XP and a backup partition)

If I had a 250GB disk then I would split it 25/25/200 (around abouts).

I would then install XP on the first partition then install vista on the second partition. Because you install vista secondly it creates a boot menu for you where you just select the correct system you want to boot and it will boot into that os for you. good luck.
