to do this you would have to install xp first,then vista,so you will need to wipe the drive clean. Xps 410
Windows Vista Home Premium
Windows XP Pro SP2
Windows 2008 Longhorn Server Beta 64 Bit
Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 Conroe 2.66GHz
3 Gig of Crucial Ram
400 Gig sata HD
GeForce 8800GTS 640MB
UltraSharp 2407WFP LCD Monitor
Creative ZS Sound Card
Logitech Z-5500 505 Watts 5.1 Speaker
You don't have to wipe the drive. You can successfully install and dual boot XP after Vista has already been installed. The link given above is a good one to follow.
You should know that every time you boot into XP, you will lose your Vista restore points....this site shows how to fix that. I have the two OS's on separate physical disks, so I just hide the Vista disk in XP and all is fine.
