Dual Boot?

I'm going to dual boot XP 64bit and Vista 64bit, how do I go about Dual booting?

I want to do this as I am having difficulty running certain software and games in Vista.
If you could let me know ASAP I would really appreciate.

Install XP, Then install Vista, it gives you the option when you install Vista. You will need 2 Partitions on the same drive, or 2 drives. To add XP to an existing XP boot, is a pain in the bum, but it can be done.

do you have multiple hard drives or are you planning to partition a single hard drive?

I was planning on partitioning my 150gb Raptor into two.

I will be using Vista for all my main stuff like Office etc. but I will be using XP for some older games etc. Will I need to install them in XP to use them in XP? I'm not sure how it all works once done
