Method 2: XP installed first This is the method I tried after I figured out that the other one didn't work for me.
What I needed I faced a dilemma. Preparation Assumptions: In this tutorial, it is assumed that you have a single hard disk in your computer, and your computer meets Windows Vista's system requirements.
Planning your disk configuration The first thing to do when preparing a dual-boot is to plan how you will configure your hard drive. I have partitioned the disk as illustrated below: Partitioning the disk I happened to have a second installation of Windows XP on a separate hard drive, and I thus used Windows XP's diskmgmt.
Installing Windows Vista Before we can actually install Vista, there is an important thing we must do, viz. Type the following: diskpart select disk 0 select partition 1 active Close the command prompt and click Next. Proceed with the Vista installation as usual.

Therefore, the idea of XP "calling its drive C even though it is technically D" isn't entirely correct. When you apply your partition changes, PM will make you reboot.

In Vista, the disk is called "Vista. Choose your newly created V: drive as the installation location, and let 'er rip. Vista will spend lots of time copying files and restarting your machine. All goes well in installation-ville, and you'll set up your first administrative Vista user and go from there.
Note: Vista didn't have the drivers for a whole bunch of the devices on my machine, like the sound card, video card, USB Wifi adaptor, dialup modem or Ethernet card, so be prepared to have all the driver disks that came with your computer you did save your driver disks, didn't you?

Even if one was permitted to have the 2 Operating systems on 1 computer, how can one create a partition for a dual boot system when dell has created 2 hidden partitions.
Partition Magic could not create a partition on my gig hard drive for backups and data because of these 2 hiden partitions.
