It's not a very good idea to install two operating systems to a single partition...it's doable, but lots of problems can occur.

Partition Magic can help create additional partitions out of empty space.

Im Doing this.. except i have 2 HDD's, all you need to do is partition with Norton Partition (my experience its the best)then install vista onto the partition, in vista you can change and tweak the dual boot screen, setting defaults, time limits etc. tell me how u get on, good luck
