Default Downsides of dual booting?

I'm tired of dealing with Vista. I want to go back to XP. So I looked up how to dual boot Vista and XP on the same hard drive. It sounds great and all, but my question is, are there any downsides of dual booting?


Do you think it would be a wiser choice to replace my current hard drive with a new clean one and install XP on it?

I don't mind losing some of files. I got nothing too important on my hard drive anyways. I'm really sick of Vista and I want to avoid it as much as possible.
