Dual Boot Questions

I am trying to get dual boot to work on my computer with vista and xp so that I can use my stupid calculator software (TI-connect doesn't work with Vista64), but I am somewhat unclear on the tutorials I've read.

Do I have to partition the drive that vista is on to install xp or can I use my second hard drive?
Also, is it possible to get an xp install program to put on a disk if I don't have my installation disk anymore??

Thanks for any help
Regards,
Darin

just install as a clean install to your 2nd drive, easier ... system will take care of the rest

Installing XP after Vista will not create a dual-boot scenario for you automatically, like installing Vista after XP would. Follow the instructions here for setting up a dual-boot using EasyBCD from within the XP GUI...

You would need to purchase another copy of XP.

Yes, EasyBCD is the easiest way to dual boot!

Even though I have my product key for XP?
