Yup, create a new partition an slap XP on it.

something daft already!! · 2 Aug 2009 at 13:54

You could use Virtual PC or Dual boot by adding another hard drive or partitioning your existing. You need to have XP installed first then install Vista and you will get the dual boot menu. Or you can get programs online to do this for you if you have Vista already installed.

Could use the vista "shrink volume" utility, and create a new partition of ~20/30gig for your xp install, pop the xp disk, reboot, boot from disk and install to that partition.
