    I just did the dual boot thing:

    There is a great article that shows you how at: http://apcmag.com/5023/dual_booting_xp_with_vista

    Warning: Problem is media direct (v3 in my case) no longer works after you do that, I recreated the 2GB partition but the re-install disk does not reconize it anymore.

    I will let you know if I get it working.
