How to dual-boot Windows Vista and XP
For those of you who downloaded Windows Vista Beta 2 last week but don't want to nuke or upgrade your existing Windows XP install, Lifehacker's Gina Trapani has written a great tutorial on getting the two to play nice and dual-boot on the same machine. It's not exactly rocket science, but if you've never set up a dual-boot system, this is the tutorial for you.

The article is a little over kill. Dual booting vista is as simple as installing it on another partition. Vista has its own boot loader which will prompt you every time you start.
