    Hi, I've been reading about installing XP on the Inspiron 1420 and every guide I have seen tells you to delete the partitions. I DO NOT wish to delete the recovery, diagnostics or media direct partition. Instead I just want to resize the Vista partition and make it into two seperate partitions. One for Vista and one for XP. Would there be any problem doing that with Acronis Disk Director or Partition Magic? I don't want to disable/deactivate/break the other Dell partitions. :confused:
