    Does anyone know how or know a link explaining how to set up a dual boot configuration for XPS M1530 laptop? I want to run XP and Vista on the same hard drive and still use media direct, so i will need to delete the restore partition, and use 3 partions

    1) Media Direct (approx 3gb)
    2) Vista (half of remaining)
    3) XP Media Center (what is left over after partition 1 and 2)

    How do I set this up I would like a step by step procedure to follow however not all steps have to be perfectly clear, I can work through some ambiguity if need be
