I really want to dual boot Vista and XP when Vista already installed.
I read some tut on internet (Ill get the link later) and they said: Shrink partition, install xp, change something in windows bootloader and it will work.
The problem is I want to install XP on my 1st HDD and Vista is on the 2nd HDD

If i install xp on a partition on my first HDD, will Vista still work?

Ive got some important school stuff on it and i dont want to spend hours on fixing my pc, so I need to be 100% sure it will work

Mirror Vista onto the second drive, and format the first drive. Make an NTFS partition and install XP, and then follow the bootloader instructions.

I don't really see why you would want to install both at the same time. You could just VM XP on the Vista machine.

I thought installing windows deleted any other partitions.
That's why I dual boot with linux.
