atm i have Vista business installed on the harddive and thats it....

where do i go from here?

Thanks :D
 
Create a partition
Install XP
Install Vista Boot Pro

and then it will dual boot. And yes, it does work.
 
I dual booted xp home premium and xp pro, but the problem was that sometimes I wanted to use software that is on each one at the same time. I ended up using Parallels which can boot xp inside vista. It isn't perfect, and it costs like $50 or something like that but i prefer it to having to reboot. Since you mentioned xp business, I think Microsoft has a free alternative, virtalPC if I remember right. I would definaly check it out first since getting rid of it is as easy as uninstalling it compared to deleting a 2nd operating system if you go the other way.

P.S. I am not associated with parallels, I just think it works pretty well, and I would had tried microsofts version, but home premium doesn't offer it.
