Ok i have win xp installed so how to install vista that it will show a dual boot screen ...
I know how to do that in winxp , just install it in a different folder ... but how do i do that in Vista - is it the same ? or must i play with some app in vista after i installed to recognize the win xp ?

Create a new partition for vista then launch its setup from within xp.

or create partition and boot from vista disk....it will ask where to install...just dont say the same partition as xp...it will replace bootloader and you will get the choice when booting...

You are welcome, BTW if you need to edit the vista boot loader, use an app like easybcd.
