partitioning hard drive (windows 7 installed) for dual boot with XP (to be installed)

[newmachine1]

can I get step by step instructions for partitioning my hard drive so that I can run both windows 7 and XP? I have an original mbox that i'd like to use and I believe that XP was the last windows platform it'll run on.

I always mistrust the how-to sites these days... they get used to promote software and even malware. So I checked on easybcd... I actually remembered it, but checked anyway.

Cnet reviews are good
