I'm building a new system, and what I want to do is install Vista 64 on one hard drive, and XP 32-sp3, on another hard drive, and be able to chose which one I boot too at start up.

I've tried the search function, and frankly was just too lazy to pour through all the articles.

Can someone point me to the definitive, latest, how to??
Or, tell me how I should go about this.

Vista first, then XP, or vice versa.
 
My laptop has only one drive, and it is very difficult to find free partition tools that work well with my Vista 64. My Vista is home premium so Virtual PC won't work on my computer.
I guess the only solution is to find a partition tool that works well with Vista 64 and free, is there anyone who knows where to find that? Thank you so much.
I didn't find the disk management tool in my computer, where is it? Not in the Accessory or Administrator Tool.
 



Well since you took it that way???

Which wasn't the way it was intended referring to WinXP 32bit Home Basic editions limitations.

Hows your WinXP deleting your Vista Restore points going with that dual boot setup of yours?
