Dual booting Vista Enterprise with XP Pro

Question

Hi. Are there instructions on how to install Vista Enterprise Edn. on a machine with Windows XP? I'd like to set the system up for dual boot capabilities.

Also, I noticed on this chart (http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=587581&SiteID=17) that a few media capabilities are missing between the Enterprise and Ultimate Edition. Can those features be added/downloaded after the fact?

Thank you.

Thanks, Sherif. One question: My system has only one large partition. Are there any free partitioning tools out there that won't delete my current information? In other words, a tool that will partition the free space on the drive but leave the existing data as its own partition. Thanks.

Thanks, Sherif. I'll use Partition Magic to take care of the partitioning. Thanks again for your help.

Dear arc_dev,

i want to advice u , don't use partition magic , it take a long time and if it hang u will loss ur data. so i recommend to copy / backup ur data on another harddisk and repartition ur hard.
