Installing XP dual boot AFTER Vista?

[bryn]

If I buy a PC with Vista preinstalled, can I subsequently install XP in a dual boot configuration without having to remove Vista first.

I have a dim memory that dual boot can only be carried out when the older OS is installed first, but this may be completely wrong.

I think i am right when i say that you have to put xp on first then vista
because vista knows about xp but xp dont know about vista

thats the way i do it any way...

Thanks Flying Grouse, that is a great find. Should be in a big sticky at the top of the forum!
