Dual Boot Possible? (from 2 different image)

So I bought the restoration CD from P1, both XP and Vista version, is there a way I can copy/restore both image onto my VAIO and select which OS to boot? I'm just wondering if its possible or the only way is to restore XP, then just Install Vista ! (Which I'm okay, but P1 got the perfect Vista installation, which I want too)

Thanks ahead of time!

 

Is the restore CD an actual Windows installation CD, or is it the kind that just deploys an image to your hard drive?
If it's a Windows install disc, then yes, that is possible. I suggest installing XP first to a partition, then installing Vista to another partition. You can then use EasyBCD to change the default bootup options, names of OS's in the bootloader, etc.

If it's an image, you will have to deploy one, make an image of that onto another hard drive with software like Acronis TrueImage, then deploy the other, shrink the partition with Acronis, then use Acronis to move the image back to the space you recovered from the drive by shrinking the partition. You will also have to manually configure the bootloader.

 

Its 2 separate Restore CD. I'll give bootloader a try, seems like a valid solution Thanks man
