Im trying to find the best way to dual boot with XP & Vista.

I have 3 hard drives.
500GB Packard Bell external.
320GB WD My Book (Was external, but now internal on an IDE cable).
250GB Samsung SATA.

I have XP on the 320GB My Book & the Samsung is empty,
while all my films, music etc are on the 500GB.

Whats the best way to go about this?
Install Vista on the Samsung or create a new partition beside XP?

The last time i tried to install Vista beside XP i couldnt boot up at all.

Any help/advice is appreciated.
Cheers
