So the title says what I want to do
I have Vista pre-installed and no install disk of it, I have the install disk of XP.
Let me get this right, so if I want to Dual boot
I partition the drive using shrink volume in Vista
and just install XP to the second partition
Will I have to install drivers or sumptin other than just following the prompts on the install
But wont that override the vista boot and I will only be able to boot into XP
How would I make it to where I choose What OS I want to boot

Im also thinking about triple booting Ubuntu since thats free and all, If you could tell me how to do that too
