How to Dual-Boot Vista with XP - 
Step-by-Step Guide With Screenshots  
http://www.apcstart.com/5023/dual_booting_xp_with_vista


Scenario: 
You want to install Vista alongside an XP installation, 
on the same drive.

Tutorial Summary: 
We're going to use GParted to shrink the Windows XP
partition on the hard=
 disk and create enough space for an installation of Vista.
We'll then=
 install Vista and use the EasyBCD utility to tell Vista's
bootloader to=
 refer to XP by its name. 

This tutorial was carried out on a Windows-XP based system
running on a=
 200GB hard drive which started with the XP partition taking
up the entire=
 drive.

I take it GParted will allow me to partition my 250 GB hard

drive into smaller partitions?  I hope so because I love
free 
programs.

Yes I think it will do that:

forge.net/
GParted is an industrial-strength package for creating,
destroying,=
 resizing, moving, checking and copying partitions, and the
filesystems on=
 them. This is useful for creating space for new operating
systems,=
 reorganizing disk usage, copying data residing on hard
disks and mirroring=
 one partition with another (disk imaging).

I did read that but wanted my hand held by you saying yes
(LOL) 
so -- is it the same as Acronis?

I also found this free software:

Hi Judith,
yes Partition Logic is similar to Gparted and Partition
Magic

Acronis is a backup tool/program not a partitioning tool.

I can't hold your hand through the others as I have to 
read the how too's myself when I use Partition Magic

The older I get the more I forget<G>
