Creating a partition for XP...

Hi. I'm having some problems with some of my old WinXP programs running on my new Dimension E521 with Vista. I read somewhere that I could create a partition and install XP on that, then install and run my older programs. Is that a complicated process? Can someone point me to reliable instructions?

Thanks

    that called dual boot but you would have to install xp first then vista.

    Start>Help and Support>type Repartition in search.
    Have you tried running the old programs in Windows XP SP2 compatibilty mode as
    administrator.
