Basically I currently have Windows XP, but I wish to install Windows MCE 2005 on a seperate partition.

I don't want to start from fresh because my current partition which has Windows on it has lots of information that I can risk losing, so I decided I'd just create a new partition and install Windows MCE there. How can I do this and sucessfully dual boot the two?

Thanks
 
After creating the new partition just pop in the CD and install it, select the partition you just created (should be in the textmode setup phase) then let it install to that, XP will detect the previous version of XP and edit the bootfile accordingly, then you can boot in and edit it to your needs (delay time, default boot etc)
