    i just recently did a clean install on my T61. its a 100gig harddrive, and i have windows XP Pro 32bit running right now. there is only 1 partition.

    im thinking of dual booting with another OS, probably vista 64bit.
    if i download partition magic, will that be all i need?
    i want to make a new partition, install vista, but incase i mess up or decide to delete it later, will i be able to delete the partition, and merge it so i have 100gig of space again?

    Yes.
    Yes. There are a lot of webpages that explain how to dual boot XP and Vista. Search for them on Google.
