Heya

Well you could use software like Partition Magic or Partition Expert to make a new partition. Then you would simply install the new OS on that partitition and it will ask you which OS you would like to boot into.

what I would do is just make a new partition from partition magic.
don't choose the install a new operating system option. Then pop in the vista cd or open from image drive. Run the setup and it should ask you where you want to install it. Point to the new partition and it should work.
