Am dual booting Vista HP and XP Pro. Works great for me
 Best thing to do is back up your files, do a full reformat, then install XP, THEN install Vista.MUST be on the same physical drive on seperate partitions (ya need a large drive). You can ONLY dual boot this way afaik, as the Vista boot procedure cannot recognise XP during boot, meaning if you install vista first, you will need to heavily edit your boot cfg. XP sees a Vista install on the same physical drive, so therefore facilitates Dual booting. |

You could do 1 better and just format and get rid of vista and single boot to XP!

I've been running Windows Vista Premium since late January; I love the operating system, but hate the performance drop from XP (especially in PR). Vista usually eats around 510MB of my system RAM while nothing is running, but as soon as I turn on 3D Max 9 it starts eating 700-800MB. I had first installed Vista Ultimate 64bit and had a lot of incompatibility issues, so I decided to stick to a more light Premium instead.
Vista with nothing in the background (502MB system RAM used):  Vista with 3D Mac 9 and Live Messenger running (730MB system RAM used):  Not much of a performance upgrade if you ask me.  |
