===============================
Dual-boot is when you run two operating
systems on separate partitions or hard
drives on the same machine. I am currently
running WinXP Pro and Vista Ultimate.

The operating systems run independently
of one another and both must be maintained
with updates, security programs, etc. just
as though it was your only OS.

When my machine boots up I see a boot
menu that allows me to choose the system
I wish...if I do not choose within 5 seconds
it boots to the one that is designated as the
default. It could be either one but I have mine
set for WinXP...I'm still experimenting with
Vista and do most of my work on the XP
partition.

The best method is to install WinXP first.
Here are a few articles if you want more info.
