How to dual boot Vista and XP (with Vista installed first) — the step-by-step guide
Saturday, March 3rd, 2007
Scenario: You want to install Vista on your PC alongside your XP installation, on the same drive. You
have installed Vista already. (If you have XP installed first, check out our earlier tutorial on how to dual boot Vista and XP with XP installed first.) Tutorial Summary: We’re going to use Windows Vista to shrink the Vista 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 Vista based system running on an 80GB hard drive which started with the Vista partition taking up the entire drive. It was also tested in VMWare 5.5.3 Workstation. How to dual boot Vista and XP (with Vista installed first) — the step-by-step guide | APC Magazine
